Spoilers Elite Dangerous' next update is the most exciting yet "end of a storyline" [AutoEvolution]
- Thread starter StuartGT
- Start date
Weird if we get a leak on an embargoed press release from a car site on a Sunday. Don't think anyone had that in the predictions 
Doesn't read like any artistic license to me, just looks like a copy & paste press release. I can't imagine an Auto magazine site will be concerned about the ramifications of breaking an embargo from a game, probably just got the publish date wrong (24hrs early maybe?).
Broadly agree it's not much of a spoiler, but it still is one.
ETA that last paragraph seems to indicate it was intended to be released before the 9th so presumably not even an embargo break, just a (presumably) intended minor spoiler on FDev's part.

You can read it, the only spoiler I saw is in the last sentence of paragraph 8 (and thread title).
ETA Thread title has been edited to remove the spoiler.

But more importantly, are you drunk yet? (I'm 'comfortable'Ok i read it.
)
They don't know anything we don't know. What part was spoiled?
Heh, I'm not uncomfortable to be sure.But more importantly, are you drunk yet? (I'm 'comfortable'
I think summarizing the events leading up to now that everyone (who cares about the narrative) is already aware of ...doesn't count as a spoiler.
It's not like you'll be able to start a new game and go thru this event fresh at some other date. This is a one-time deal.
I was hoping for some juicy leaks. It is funny though that an automotive site runs a story like this but frontier isn't able (or doesn't care) to get polygon.com or ign.com to run something similar.

Man, you really have to TRY so hard to get to that take. Well done.
For those concerned -- there are no spoilers in the article.
The article does, however, encourage the reader to go full tourist and head to HIP 22460 to "be a part of history".
It's not mentioned explicitly, but reading between the lines you're supposed to bring your own beer and popcorn.

It does appear to be a genuine article. Web searches for several sentences in the article didn't turn up any other source.
Although Elite might be the odd one out, the author reports on other video games, too. Maybe it's the SRV that made it a car game
'Basically, it will bring the end of a storyline and introduce players to a newer, bigger threat.'
So there is new information, that a newer bigger threat is coming. For the record this was originally in the title to this thread but it's since been changed.
That is a theory I've seen floating about, but it hadn't been confirmed until now. So it does take a bit of the wind out of the sails of tomorrow knowing that the Proteus Gun is probably gonna kick off a new baddy. There is a difference between thinking something is gonna happen and having it confirmed.
Try in what way? You dont have to try at all to realize the article isn't a spoiler because it just summarizes existing past events.
You dont have to try to realize it can't be defined as a spoiler of those events to players not currently aware of them because they wont be able to re-play this content in the future.
and you dont have to try to be surprised that an automotive website has a marketing post about a video game but fairly large (if not the largest) video game sites are mum about this event entirely.
that's all pretty straight forward, easy takeaways.

I think if it were a piece written by a fan of the game (who writes for that magazine website) and not a piece of copy from Frontier it seems to me it wouldn't say so authoritatively what's coming afterwards, it would be written as an opinion piece.
You could be right though
