Why we publish this. Breaking Chains is not in the shame business. We are in the doors business. Every number above is a door - the phone, the console, the TV, the headset - and most homes have every one of them wide open, because nobody told them the doors existed. Now you know. Closing them takes about five minutes per device, and the first layer is free.
