"lore" is mostly a buzzword
Back in the old days it was subtext and subtle imagery, a lot of ye olde Hypercrisis theorycrafting was formed out of such. Then people saw the hype you could get by doing that but instead of actually contributing to anything they just made red herrings and non-sequiters that are great for generating schizo theories but have no impact on the story.
"Lore" doesn't really matter in TADC though, aside from the facts that 1) Caine knows more about the real world than he lets on, 2) Kinger may be a/the dev, 3) someone seems to be keeping the servers up and running (and that's what led accountant jester to it)
