If you copy everyone else you’re not going to be profiting much, as your product isn’t competitive. You have to keep iterating on an idea to stay ahead of the competition.
IP law lets companies stop innovating after they’ve come up with a product, because other companies cannot directly compete using the same or a similar design.
Did Android phones stop innovating because Apple did a smartphone first?

There are only 3.5 billion jobs worldwide. A good amount of those work for the government, in the army, in the public sector, etc…
I’d be surprised if it manages to get above a billion to be honest. Remember that copyright is a fairly recent invention.

How about requiring IPs to belong to a specific person, with a set expiry of say 10 years? Corporations wouldn’t be able to own IP, only pay for the rights (for the first 10 years).

The default settings look pretty bad, but with some setting changes you can get it to look a lot better without sacrificing too much performance.
It’s not really the type of game that has to run at a solid 60 FPS or anything.

Honestly I find Intel’s to be a bit more confusing. Still, what my CPU is called exactly bothers me fairly little now that it’s in my PC.

Glad I went with AMD this time round.

Sounds like you’re just adding insult to injury at that point.
