Ain't No Leak!

There should definitely be a notice that information on these sets was available prior to the sets' availability for testing, but "leak" isn't the word for it, since that implies Paragon Studios screwed up and sent us information ahead of time that they didn't want us to have. In this case, the power names were discovered through hacking, and the power information was revealed by linking them in the chat window.

I'm not sure how to best phrase it. I mean, we could say "was discovered through hacking," but then again, Titan Network knows about even more Power Sets for the same reason, and we're certainly not going to be blabbing about what the devs don't want people to know. --GuyPerfect 14:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Why specify a how at all? Can't we just say: "Information on this power set was discovered during Issue 23's Beta and for a period it's powers were linkable in chat. Developers disabled this ability in time and removed forum posts relating to the set." I mean, brevity is the... some famous quotation here. Also, not to kick the dead horse, but NO ONE can confirm that any "hacking" occurred at all. It isn't unlikely in the least, as it is the most probable reason things were discovered, but it isn't the only way. — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 14:56, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Leak just means leak. It doesn't have any negative or positive connotations. They leaked it by not being obsessive about their data protection, players leaked it by being obsessive about changes in the game. ~ AGGE talk/cons 18:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
