Bill thinks the late Apple founder was a credit-stealing non-inventor.Subscribe to watch more Team Coco videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi7GJNg51C3jg...
That project was actually the game Breakout, one of the most popular video games of the 1970s. Jobs lied and told Wozniak that Atari offered only $700 for the project, the actual amount was $5000. So Jobs offered Wozniak only $350. This was back when making a game involved physically soldering breadboards together, actually designing the circuitry of the thing.
Wozniak is a bit of a weird guy though, I remember in an interview later he says he would have done the job for free. Guy just likes programming or something. He was probably aware at some level he was being screwed over, but never seemed to care much. He was excited to do computer stuff.
That game is actually kinda notable too because it changed how games get copyrighted. Originally the copyright filing was rejected, since it was declared too similar of a game to Pong and the graphics were too simple. Atari appealed and Ruth Bader Ginsberg herself was actually the appeals justice on that case, she declared it a novel, original work. On one hand it's cool that video games can be similar to one another, on the other hand RBG directly caused the video game crash of 1983 and basically made shovelware legal.
Rare RGB W while also being an entirely too common RGB L. Such is life.
And oh, to have Woz's material conditions where you can just throw yourself at your work without having to fear for starving to death under a bridge somewhere.
Virgin dying from a preventable form of cancer because you think you're too good for modern medicine vs chad surviving a plane crash even though you weren't qualified to fly the plane.

Apple fanboys somehow spin it to not makes Jobs look like a total asshole.
