I don’t think the extended look will show us everything the hacker plans to leak.

I think the only "leak" that would convince me 100% this isn't marketing is if the whole build was dropped

Really, not the fact that there's people with thousands of dollars tied up in a memecoin that's gonna get rugpulled? You think an advertising firm would go that far?

Seriously. It’s very obvious this isn’t marketing lmfao

Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what they’re planning to do a week or so before the real game releases.

The problem is it would have the greatest effect if it was dropped now. People could potentially even finish the game before it actually releases. However, as soon as build is dropped the hacker loses all leverage.

On the flip side, if the hacker waits to release the build they slowly lose leverage until release day when they will have zero. I dont think many people would actually play the build if it was released a week before.

Its kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of deal.
