Works by Ward and Hughes

gollark: Idea: start making a game now, then wait 20 years and actually do any of the work, so I can claim I worked on it for 20 years.
gollark: You could use that to argue that if you, say, start up a competing brick company and drop the market price of bricks, you are stealing from other brick companies.
gollark: *However*, that doesn't work on other stuff.

gollark: Yep!
