garage games wanted it to be "leaked". Whats the best way to test something but releasing it?
But here is a cool conspiracy theory: they knew that this would take the attention of the old school players. Now that some of them came back to play, they are going to play it for sure in a webbrowser. And so, IA will have people buying "webby faggot coins" to buy a MORTAR and a HEAVY ARMOR!!!! just like legions.
