The guys analyze how the titular legal concept applies to the videogame industry. Spiritual successors, cross-overs, the Fair Use Protection Act (FUPA), and licenses are discussed. They make references  to Left 4 Dead, Yooka-Laylee, DBZ Buddaka to illustrate these concepts. In an unexpected turn, their discussion leads to John Locke, Abraham Lincoln, flappy bird clones, THAT HELICOPTER FLASH GAME, gamefeel, proprietary code, Hyrule Warriors. Finally, Carlos discusses how animators build suspense in Pacific Rim: The Black.
