All these naming and patent issues are so sick.
The guy who invented patenting should be sued for making the world so miserable.

deleted it and downloaded it again at 4:00 in California. It’s still there. Is this a joke?

Atari doesn’t have a leg to stand on legally. This is simply a case of cowardly giving in to hollow legal claims. If the name contained “Pong” or “Breakout” or a derivative of such, yeah, then Atari may have a case. But they can’t claim copyright on this general game concept of hitting a ball with a paddle.

i think it atari just copywrited the name Pong and Break in a game like that because BreakClassic and SuperPong have changed there names to BlockClassic and SuperBall, i think now they have changed their names i think they will be still allowed up.

Put BossPref on your phone and then remove the kill switch.
