Description
Last week almost 80,000 of y'all watched Adobe, Sony and Nintendo Just Lost Control. Here's what happened next: the tool got bigger, Microsoft Office got cloned, Bethesda and Activision started sending takedowns, the people who take games apart by hand shut their own doors, a congressman showed up with a bill called "if you pay for it, you own it," and Nintendo's wall didn't fall at all.
