I keep seeing people using the whole leaked skybox thing as proof that the event was scripted. This is not evidence of scripting the outcome. All that it proves is that the art assets for the Titan being taken out were made ahead of time to be used in the event the Titan did go down. What would you people expect CCP to to do otherwise? Wait to create the art assets right as the Titan actually died, then bring the servers down immediately after so they can patch it in? Seriously, what kind of unrealistic expectations...
There very well could of been a whole different set of art assets with lots of Gallente dread debris littering the background if the opposite happened, that will now never be used. Or just alternatively they could of saved time and not made any art assets for the opposite since like people mentioned, not much would of really changed.
Let me draw another example from a different source in case this still doesn't make sense to somebody. I watched the daily show on the 2008 presidential election night. After it was confirmed Barrack Obama won, they played this whole, obviously pre-recorded clip where the entire cast runs out of the building onto the rooftop, where it is day time in the clip. The Daily Show was being broadcasted live, and at the time it was definitely nightime on the east coast, in NY where the show is taped.
Now one of two things are possible:
#1 They prerecorded this clip in the anticipation Obama would win, so they would have it ready to play when the announcement was made, possibly recording a second they could use if McCain won, with it never being used if the opposite had happened.
#2 The Daily Show themselves rigged the entire presidential election in the U.S. for their own benefit after having recorded the clip.
So seriously, saying that the art assets presence is evidence of scripting is like saying the fact that clip was prerecorded is evidence of election rigging by the staff of a comedy show. That's not proof that it wasn't in fact scripted, it just means you cant use that as evidence to support such a claim. |
