^^ yeah. Easter eggs and the like are often taken too seriously by fans, in my opinion. Sometimes it’s a coincidental thing that was implemented for the purposes of referencing another franchise, not to connect universes.
For example, The Witcher 2: Assassin’s of Kings has a dead man in an Assassin costume from the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Doesn’t mean those two franchises share the same universe - they very obviously don’t.
