The Doc https://yewtu.be/watch?v=NhwNTo_Yr3k

Rewatched an old documentary (2004) made by the BBC about the history of Tetris. The story of the game itself was interesting, as a sign of the entrepreneurial and human spirit breaking through the dull gray concrete of the old communist regime.

The more interesting story, for me, was the part about how it emerged from behind the Iron Curtain.

Alexey Pajitnov created the game, but he didn't "own" it under the Soviet Union; it was the "property" of the state. As such, Pajitnov had zero concern with bootleg or "pirated" copies being distributed among his friends and associates. Because of the widespread sharing of the software, the game eventually leaked into other countries.

Eventually, an opportunistic Hungarian named (((Robert Stein))) of Andromeda Software "negotiated a deal" (in short, he wrote up a bunch of vague statements granting him what he wanted with lip service about compensation) with the Soviet government for exclusive computer software distribution rights for Tetris anywhere that wasn't under direct Russian control.

Stein then peddled the game across Europe to a group called Mirrorsoft owned by (((Robert Maxwell))), a prominent business figure. Did I mention Maxwell also had deep Soviet roots from deals he had brokered previously in Red Square? Moving on. Mirrorsoft distributed the game on PC in both Europe and the US, and ended up negotiating a deal with Henk Rogers of Bulletproof Software to license a version of Tetris for the Famicom in Japan. They also had negotiated arcade and home console game rights to Atari/Tengen. Hold on to this one for later.

Shortly after securing the Famicom "rights," Henk Rogers met with Nintendo of America's Howard Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa about bringing the game to the US on the Gameboy. Rogers subsequently began phoning and faxing Andromeda's Stein, who gave cagey and vague answers about "going to Moscow" in the near future, presumably to negotiate the deal. Rogers gave Stein $25,000 in cash to begin the process that, after several weeks, appeared to have gone nowhere.

Stein, upon learning of Rogers' intentions, made plans to secure additional deals for portable console (read: Gameboy) distribution rights that he could subsequently sell to Rogers' Bulletproof Software, which would in turn pass along to Nintendo. So, rather than allowing Rogers, Bulletproof, and Nintendo to have a direct arrangement, he wanted to cut himself in, despite having agreed otherwise with Rogers. Shocking, I'm sure.

Mirrorsoft's Maxwell sent his son Kevin on a secret mission to negotiate additional rights to Tetris, thus undermining and bypassing Stein on a deal they'd already made.

Meanwhile, Henk Rogers, concerned that Stein might not have been honest, decided to fly to Moscow himself on a fact-finding mission with the intent of speaking to the Soviet-run ELORG, who controlled the rights to Tetris exclusively.

Well, it turned out that Stein had never paid a dime in the royalties due the Soviets at ELORG. He pocketed every centavo he had made from licensing the games. Yet again, I'm sure everybody is stunned to learn that a kike acted kikey.

Further, when Henk Rogers spoke to Nikoli Belikov, the representative at ELORG, he was informed that his Famicom version of the game wasn't licensed properly, as neither Andromeda or Mirrorsoft had the rights to home console distribution. Rogers apologized and offered to make amends, and Belikov offered Rogers the chance to draw up an offer for rights on the Gameboy.

Belikov then confronted Mirrorsoft's Kevin Maxwell, asking him why Bulletproof software and Henk Rogers would have thought they had rights to distribute on the Famicom in Japan. (((Maxwell))) responded by throwing Rogers under the bus, asserting that Bulletproof were simply pirates. Belikov, understandably, didn't believe Maxwell.

Stein was ordered to pay all amounts in arrears before negotiation could even begin, at the same time, his contract was rewritten to specify explicitly that he only had rights to the PC version of Tetris, and nothing else.

In the end, Rogers' offer was accepted for the Gameboy, and ELORG wanted to negotiate home console rights with him and Nintendo, which quickly took place after Nintendo sent Howard Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa to confirm.

Robert (((Maxwell))) of Mirrorsoft, angered that he had not only been denied the portable console rights, but also that his home console rights were being revoked, called every friend he had in Moscow to threaten Nikoli Belikov with the gulag or even death if he didn't reverse his decision and apologize. Belikov, shockingly, stood firm.

Ultimately, Robert Maxwell disappeared with half a billion dollars, allegedly "killing himself" by throwing himself overboard from his yacht.

Robert Stein spent his time on the documentary bitching about how he was insulted and robbed by Henk Rogers, Robert Maxwell, ELORG, and pretty much anybody else he could think of.

Rogers became close friends with Alexy Pajitnov, and the two now own The Tetris Company, which purchased ELORG in 2005.

So, one story with a happy ending where the jews played themselves and lost. They aren't that smart. They're just persistent and good at lying. Sometimes, though, they get caught.

Remember that Jews learn from early in school in their religion training to promote/favor their own kind. This is how they build strong support for each other in top levels of industries. They can have infighting for top spots sure, but that lifelong training to prefer their own kind more often creates opportunities for others in their community. Eventually becoming a systemic privilege where they get enough control.
