But they are patentable (or at least elements of them can be). Konami successfully sued[1] the makers of In The Groove, a Dance Dance Revolution clone. I know parts of Mario Kart are patented[2], so I wouldn't be too surprised if par

Referendums don't directly happen for issues like that, but they do happen indirectly through the parties we vote for. Say there was a party running for city council called the "Get Rid of the Bikes Party", where that was the

A little OT because it's not what they're doing in this case case, but... The NES and SNES (and I'm guessing other cartridge-based consoles) supported having extra chips (often called "mappers") inside the cartridge
