An inventor might not get the lion's share of the profit made from their invention, however they should at least receive recognition for their contribution.
The linked article strongly implies Elizabeth Magie Philips invented the source material for what later became Monopoly. That we've been playing a cut down version of her game is hardly important, recognition is the least we can offer inventors. It's clear that Parker Brothers did what they could to cut her out of the history of the game, I hope that we don't condone that behaviour.
I'm interested to try The Landlord's Game, I wonder what the situation with the patents are now.
