The quest dialogue is referencing an incident that happened in 2018 between the content creator Eroktic and Battlestate Games. Eroktic uploaded a YouTube video in which he talked about an alleged user data leak from 1,900,000 game accounts, without providing any actual evidence. In response, Battlestate Games issued 47 DMCA strikes on his YouTube channel to stop the spread of misinformation, which were later removed. Battlestate Games commented on the allegations in a Facebook post.
