The episode raises a question older than the internet itself: once knowledge escapes, can power truly call it back

Consumers may experience delayed game releases or increased prices as publishers invest more in security measures. Early access to leaked content could reduce day-one purchase incentives, though some consumers benefit from free previews.
Likely increased regulatory scrutiny on platform liability (Microsoft, Discord), potential strengthening of DMCA enforcement, and possible legislation requiring tech platforms to implement stricter content moderation and IP protection protocols.
