Oops, bit of a cock up then, they are pretty much saying their back end tools allows them to alter parameters on MGS games, parameters, so we are told, that do not exist.
Well, does the MGS back end permit RTG style limited "optimising" or not, or were they expecting it to for some reason, or did someone just come out with a load of verbal diarrhoea to sound good to investors, and accidentally said something that MEANT something for a change.
A good journalist would niggle away at those bolded bits to find out if there is anything worth knowing, or indeed exposing. Given that there have been widespread tales of woe from players about the games at MG just not being how they were, then just maybe they HAVE inadvertently revealed something they shouldn't have about the functionality of the back end.
