What it comes down to is that creating a superior product means very little
when you're against a big corporation, the classic example obviously being
Tengen not paying for a development license for the NES and having their
version of Tetris pushed off the market by Nintendo, who couldn't even be
bothered to include a 2-player mode in their version. I'm actually surprised
that Atari didn't attempt any kind of countersuit given that the arcade
version of Tetris has an Atari copyright on it, and Tengen is owned by
Atari....
Situations like that are just really saddening when having the money for a
good lawyer, repeated appeals, and the like allows you to compete unfairly
like that.
