Call me old fashioned but I miss the old days when shit like this would take decades to discover and even then it would be shrouded in doubt and mystery.
Kids today just hop on youtube and know all the secrets in a short 40 minute video full of ads sponsorships and fillers.
One of the skulls in Halo 3 was found by hackers in game scripts, a decent number of secrets in the indie game Fez were found by reverse engineering or brute force. Not to mention game guides in even older days.
So no it's not really always been "shrouded in doubt and mystery".
