Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[Paddy™]

I don't think the counter code being present in the JavaScript file necessarily means that Frictional are intending to use it. The code is hosted on Google's own website - it's probably a piece of JavaScript with many functions built into it which can be called upon when needed by the user. I'm sure the AAMFP website doesn't use half the functions listed there.

But the counter wasn't there before?Was it?

You mean the <div> counter in the source code? I don't know myself, but MegaScience says he/she remembers seeing it there a long time ago and droog said that when he/she checked a cached version of the site from the 27th of July the code was already present.

I'm not saying that it's not significant though, I'm just saying that it's normal for the JavaScript counter code to be present regardless of whether the site intends to use it or not, so it doesn't necessary mean much by itself.
