The gaming industry's legal battles have reached new geometric heights! Nintendo apparently filed a patent claiming ownership of... *checks notes*... cube shapes. Yes, CUBE SHAPES. Because clearly, they invented 3D geometry in 1889 when they were making playing cards.

Meanwhile, Valve (maker of Steam and the black cube-shaped Steam Deck) is getting sued for having the audacity to use the revolutionary concept of "six equal square faces." Next up: Sony patents spheres, Microsoft claims exclusive rights to rectangles, and EA announces you'll need to pay $9.99 to unlock the concept of edges.

The patent lawyers must be absolutely thriving right now. "Your Honor, my client clearly invented the concept of three-dimensional objects with right angles back in 2001 with the GameCube!"
