I get that some people are in denial over the plot twist but with the data mining it's pretty pointless to argue at this point. It's grasping at straws. Are you addressing me? If so, I'm fully willing to accept that the leaks are real and that the plot is utter nonsense, but only after someone has completed the game 100% and there's footage of all the dialogue/endings from these leaks. All I'm doing is covering my bases. With some of these leaks reportedly conflicting with what players have actually experienced in the game, I honestly don't know what to believe. The script is convincing, but I'm not sure "no game goes to lengths of putting red herrings in the code" is true. There's a game called Irisu Sydrome where "the backstory of the game and its characters can only be found in text files created in the game folder. More text also appears when clicking on images in the CG gallery — this is also how some of the text files are created."

Games have also expanded their stories through DLC, so isn't that at all possible with Phantom Pain?
