      A fun fact about Monopoly is it was originally invented by a woman as a game about the evils of landlords and bloodthirsty capitalism. Her idea was stolen by a dude who got ludicrously rich by selling it to the Parker Brothers and taking credit for the idea 🙃🙃🙃

      "The article published spoke to the fact that Magie probably spent more money making her game, than she received in earnings, especially with the lack of credit she received after Monopoly was created." 🙃🙃🙃https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Magie …

      But that's her fault for not holding out for more. That's not them stealing, by the letter of the law. Sounds like a woman who was over her head in patent law

      I mean, they tricked her They made her think they were going to sell her game and give her royalties for it, but they didn't, they did it as legal cover so they could sell Charles Darrow's knockoff (because they'd already made a deal with him)

      If she'd had the money to hire her own army of lawyers she could've sued them over that because it was a contract in blatant bad faith Getting away with it because the other person can't fight doesn't make you right

      I hate this view of the law people have where being able to get away with it means what you did was objectively legal and no one should whine or complain about it anymore Is OJ objectively innocent

      The only reason I object to it in this case is because she had the opportunity. I look at a guy like James Garner who was in litigation for YEARS with WB and Universal and lost a ton of money with lawyers. But he kept to it. If you believe in something strongly, go for it

      Again it's because she was tricked She thought that deal *was* her big break because they told her they were gonna sell her game and pay her royalties She didn't hold out for that much of an upfront fee because that game was her baby and she just wanted to see it succeed

      She didn't know about the other game even existing, it only became obvious what happened *after* the contract was signed, they told her her game "failed" on store shelves (because they barely printed any) and they moved on to the Monopoly deal

      She would've had to start a new process of raising more money to hire new lawyers to actively sue them and make a stink about it, and she didn't have the resources to do that - very few individuals do This kind of thing happens all the time

          In the 1930s, in a pre Internet world, it would've cost a lot of money even to make a big stink about it and try to draw public attention to it She was angry about it her whole life but no one heard about it until the newspapers tracked her down years later
