^If it was, it was a clever one. I think I'll use it in my next K/S fiction...
"Jim lightly brushed Spock's arm as they passed each other on the bridge. A knowing look was exchanged. Jim could tell that Spock was using every last bit of his fabled Vulcan-control to keep his Warp-Core from overloading..."

^Was that a masturbation joke?
I'm fairly certain he means he was literally trying to keep the warp core of his game-play ship from exploding.
Oh. I thought you meant:
"Jim lightly brushed Spock's arm as they passed each other on the bridge. A knowing look was exchanged. Jim could tell that Spock was using every last bit of his fabled Vulcan-control. Where are the Caeliar when we need them?"
I wonder if maybe the various timelines should be explicitly split up? Establish a Nero-style temporal incursion in a forthcoming novel to say “this is the point where it changes”. Or even have the characters later discover an incursion occurred shortly prior to Destiny, which seems to be the branching point.
Hell, if you want to be really clever you could make it an STO/TrekLit crossover with a ship from the STO timeline travelling back and creating the schism in the first place.
(I’m aware from Christopher’s Memory Beta link that there are discontinuities other than Destiny between STO and TrekLit, mostly the dates of a few events being slightly different and the occasional death/nondeath of a background character. IMO deal with the big events, and leave the rest to the reader’s imagination)

There's so much going on in that game, you need to keep both hands free at all times.
I don't know, I think that could possibly just make things more confusing. I really think as long as the different timelines are left alone to do their own thing, it would be ok.
Or just declare STO a continuation of the divergence from Star Trek XI.

It's all Nero's fault!

It's just a social hub, from what I saw in the beta. Players beam down and interact with each other; same with Vulcan. There were a number of NPC vacationers there, but the only thing coming close to "adult subject matter" I recall seeing was something that looked like the Princess Leia bikini, which the Orion females wear.
^ They were wearing that much? Were they attending a formal function of some kind?
^ That question gets asked a lot around here.
The books are bound by canon, so everything in the movie that Spock said happened in the original timeline has to still happen in the original timeline. Countdown, however, is non-canon just like the books, and so the books can ignore that comic if they wish to.

Don't look at me. After the closed beta ended, it's been nothing but Mass Effect 2 for me, where they utilize the M-rating to full...er...effect.
That might be a problem though, if we see all those non canon continuities as parallel realities (something I've been doing for a while now).
Nero and Spock couldn't have come from both the STO- and the novel timeline.
That's IF it is ultimately determined that the events older Spock describes took place within the original reality that we know from TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT, and are not totally unrelated to anything seen in the past.
If there are infinite parallel realities, there is no problem.
There is. Nero and Spock came from one specific timeline/reality.
Right now, STO claims to be that timeline.
Some years from now, the books will have to claim that as well.
But as with Highlander, there can be only one. *ahem*
They can't be from both realities at the same time.
Unless of course, I missed a second Nero and a third Spock running around in ST IX...
According to the episode of TNG called "Parallels", which JJ's team mentioned in pre-publicity interviews, there would be an infinite number of Neros and Spocks running around.
