The has done something remarkable. It has turned a boring legal and cybersecurity issue into the most exciting gaming mystery of the year. Independent journalists are now scouring the remaining 800 pages of the leak for hidden secrets. Rumor has it that the final page contains a launch date for a game that was officially canceled three years ago.
