I say might because Retrospec doesn't really like to talk much. They hack reality and screw with us but fail at show and tell.

The only PR person they had, just got killed; and as far as I can gather, everyone liked him, so they are surprised someone whacked him.

Plus he said something about them being "hacked" a few months ago, then denies it just a month before all of this goes down.

That has me suspicious that someone might be undermining them or is at outright war with Retrospec.

And since Retrospec can basically hack reality and screw with us willy nilly, and if someone can hack them and be a pain in their ass.

Yeah...I'm not really optimistic that any of those players are benevolent. No matter what those freaking files say.
