In Fortnite: Battle Royale the big end-of-season event will take place tomorrow. There will finally be the great final battle between the robot and the Cattus monster. You don’t have to worry about spoilers.
What to expect in Fortnite? Tomorrow, on July 20, 2019 at 8:00 PM, the great duel of the giants is expected to take place. The monster “Cattus” will probably rise from the sea and fight the giant robot “Doggus”.
Update: July 20, 8:45 PM: Monsters and robots have fought. See the epic fight in this video:
This naturally raises many questions:
- Will the event be some kind of interactive boss fight, where players can participate, or is it a scripted scene?
- Will Doggus or Cattus win?
- What will the map look like after this battle of the titans? Already, the monster has caused various damage.
This could be answered by a bold dive of data miners into the depths of the game data shortly before the event. Because about 30 minutes before the start of the event, the data would be in the game and could be read.
Big data miners don’t want to ruin your fun
This is what the leakers are doing: A data miner who leaks information about the event just before it happens is likely to rake in a lot of traffic on YouTube and other platforms. After all, such end-of-season events are usually attended by millions of players, and they often want to know beforehand what is going to happen.
Others, however, would like to be surprised and have no interest in spoilers. Therefore, several big leakers have teamed up behind the data miner FortTory and announced via the hashtag #Wedontleak that they will refrain from leaking any information about the event beforehand.
Additionally, a call went out to all other leakers to also please adhere to this and not spoil anything in advance.
So the fans are reacting: In general, many players on Reddit appreciated the approach of the leakers and welcomed the idea. However, realistic voices quickly arose, doubting the feasibility of a non-disclosure agreement for the event:
“There is no way to silence everyone who could theoretically extract data. The best method to avoid spoilers is to stay away from social media beforehand.”
Others doubt whether the leakers even have the opportunity to decrypt the data so quickly:
“Funny that they want to profit from not leaking something. They would rather like to leak it but can’t because the data is encrypted.”
But whatever the motives of the leakers behind #Wedontleak are, if it means fewer spoilers circulate about the event, that is a good thing for the community.
