Guy walks into Digital Extremes studio, gets lunch, discovers new game Keystone

[Legend]

 

Yesterday on Reddit, a poster named UndercoverLegend wrote that he snuck into Digital Extremes' office, took lunch, and started talking to other employees there, who revealed that the studio is working on a card game called Keystone.

 Reddit's mods have since deleted the story—which I've independently confirmed is true—but we've got it here:

A bit of a back-story: I have been following DE for years now, I knew they were in London, Ontario, Canada but I didnt know where. They have been hiding from us for years, no explanation to as where. I found them. On the corner of [REDACTED] is their office in the Citi Plaza. How did I find it? Well if you go high enough there is a Tenno statue! You can clearly see it and where they used to do dev streams from the window. The doors are all opened by fingerprints, pretty cool haha. But I just followed some tattooed dude into the door after he unlocked it. He didnt even ask me any questions. I had my Doctor Who shirt on and I tried my best to blend in.

No one asked me if I worked there, I just sat in the chairs and moved around every now and then. at 12:01pm the lunch lady says that food is ready over the overcom and I join up the line. Theres a bunch of plates stacked and then you just grab the food buffet style. I sat down and enjoyed my free lunch and started talking to some people. They told me they were working on a new game called Keystone. They said it was a FPS with cards (like magic the gathering style perhaps) but didnt explain that much about it. The QA room has funko figures and stuffed animals everywhere. There were also a lot of ps4 and xbox one sitting around unattended. There were no security guards and no one asked me who I was. They just assumed I belonged there and told me about their secret game. at 6pm people started leaving so I just followed them out and the one guy said "See you tomorrow" so I agreed.

TL;DR: DE has shaming security and delicious food. Also Keystone.

The person was a deliberate trespasser and a thief. Anyone blaming this on DE is victim blaming.
 I am glad REDDIT had the ethical fortitude to remove criminally obtained material from their website and adhering to legal and ethical standards in this instance.
