Good. That shit was absolutely ridiculous. Patenting gameplay mechanics that have existed for decades across all games. GTFO

It's pretty hilarious how hard they'll go for copyright violations, but pretty much every system has been hacked to death. Even had a hack where you could login to their store directly and download games on the DS/Switch.

Point being a LOT of people talk about like it was super rich white guys that just had a thing/experiment and had nothing to lose because it was all shifted to other people under them.
Just a guess they had significant money/wealth before they even came to North America and what would later become the USA. Lot to lose if it didn't work out. Pretty big gamble.
I've mentioned it before, my family left France and ended up in the USA around 1795-1800 with their kid being born in NC in 1804. That kid wound up signing the TX decleraton of independance and fighting at the battle of San Jacinto at age 32 which expelled the Mexcans. The family had money or he would have never hooked up with Stephen F. Austin and moved west into what became TX. His brother owned a plantation in Alabama. Point being he had stuff to lose, it wans't just a weekend thing of protesting and stopping traffic and maybe get a night in jail.

He wasn't the Great Man™ yet but his career was underway, IIRC: His artillery actions in Paris uprising (1795), his Italian campaign(1796), and his Egypt invasion(1798) all occurred before 1800. Amazing how compressed time-wise his career was; he rose from Corsican French Artillery officer(1795) to Emperor of France (1804) is about a decade, and then from there to abdication (1814) is about another, so total time on the world stage total was ~20 years.
Edit: Was first commissioned as an officer 1785 and lifted the siege of Toulouse in 1793, which began his meteoric rise through the ranks, until royalist Paris uprising.
