"Good work, you have my passcode. There was no point in hacking this television program. Wait for what follows."

Not even sure what that means..
 
Good Job! You have my password now. Hacking this Tv show was no challenge. Wait for what's coming up.

Yea, I'm done. I'll be happy when she is announced but this ARG has overstayed it's welcome.

24 hour countdown just to say 'good job, wait for the next thing'?


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
At this point everyone could just stop working on the ARG, Sombra will be announced when regardless. Just seems like busywork with no end in sight.

Although maybe people cracking this stuff enjoy it persisting.
 
I think we've determined that everyone has been around long enough to know that if you hit F12 on one of these web pages that there's something hidden in comments.

ARGs have been a vehicle for people to 'preorder' video game marketing for many years now. They've deserved skepticism even well before Valve poisoned the well with Portal 2.

In this era, ARGs for video game announcements are just dumb wastes of everybody's time. Blizzard should announce or not instead of playing stupid games with their fans.
 
Wanted to give you guys a heads up, the correct translation taking into account word play translates this way.

Good job, now you guys have my password. Hacking this television program wasn't very challenging/interesting at all. Wait till you see what I have in store!
 
We're done waiting, Blizz where is she?!

Yea, these things are neat, but they feel like they drag on way to long.

Like I wish it was something that could be actually solved and not something where you can solve a part but then have to wait days or weeks for the next clue.
