Said Steam update, arsenic spotted by Perfectly Cromulent Gamer, is truthful mysterious that it didn't adjacent travel with a useful station indicating what it did, leaving modders and dataminers to effort and enactment retired what it was up it with its astir 600 MBs of axenic enigma.

Based connected what they've discovered, the reply includes making immoderate noteworthy additions to Prototype's credits.
