It was a lot more complicated than that, but you’re essentially right. Universal had taken RKO pictures to court in 1975 and successfully argued that King Kong was public domain since it was over 40 years old. They basically shot themselves in the foot. If you like more behind the scenes game history, read the Ultimate History of Video Games by Steven Kent. It’s one of my Game Design text books.

I tried my own video game related show on YouTube but without help of viewers…its pain in the arse.
