Or, it's a very meta ad campaignHackers release most of 'Orange is the New Black' season five

Someone calling themselves TheDarkOverlord tried to secure a ransom from Netflix on Friday. Having obtained a copy of the upcoming OITNB season from a third party audio production company, they first released the premiere episode and eventually, the first ten of 13 episodes.

Moving beyond what we've already heard about the upcoming Xbox Game Pass plan, he said "[Subscription services] might spur new story-based games coming to market because there's a new business model to help support their monetization."
