The 3 college kids who invented this never got a dime out of it because it was done at school on school computers. One of the kids turned the rights to it over to a state education office and the other 2 kids never knew he had did that until much later. That school office found it so interesting that they passed it on to all the other schools in the state as an educational program. Later on they sold the rights to it to a computer company for like a million dollars and that company took it nationwide where it became probably the most played game ever in the history of computer games because BOTH kids and adults liked it. That company sold it to another bigger company for like 375 million dollars.
