This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's because many of the iterations of the patent they tried to file were too similar to prior art in other games. Plus I'd hope 22 years is plenty of time to make a profit off of an idea you have lmao. Better that than 70 years after the crator's death like copyright.
