Sorry, but this literally the same headline about video games we've seen since at least the mid 90's.
I'm surprised the Splinter Cell games didn't get a closer look. Especially when Tom Clancy's death, and anything NSA related being used for headlines.
[Insert popular thing here] might be just a [thing], but its underlying message is becoming more and more problematic.
/r/conspiracy is leaking into HN /r/conspiratard would like a word with many here.
