that's... extremely misleading.
the real problem wasn't even close to this and was partly related to the IQ of bugmen, partly related to translation issues. in English, the little explanation for what the % meter was "% Held", which shows how close the Illuminate were to destroying the city, but it's not that at 100% you'd stop the invasion... they were coming constantly and had to be held back for the duration of the event.
in Chinese, this was "% Defense Success" (or something of the sort), leading the chinks to believe that upon reaching 100% they would liberate the whole city and end the invasion. of course, it got seemingly stuck at 98.9% or something because it didn't work that way, but the messy translation coupled with all of these chinese being stupid and unable to read up on how things worked made them think it was rigged.
if Joel wanted it rigged he would have bumped up the invasion strength 10x so the city would fall for that climactic last stand, instead it was held the entire time. it's the opposite of what the review bombers think happened.
