@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place The CD-I came out in 1990, the PC gamepad in 1991, according to Wikipedia, but there's no info about who licensed who.

@foone@digipres.club @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place licensing, schmisensing. I bet they went "oof, this isn't selling too hot. Anybody want to buy some lightly used tool molds?"

@foone@digipres.club @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place The consumer release of the CD-i is also 1991, ftr. I’m also not clear on whether the Touchpad was available at release or if it came out later.
