And the next patent will be about a controller, not actually being plugged into the console, but merely giving gamers the illusion of affecting the gameplay...

Wait until they discover some remote controller, where you can switch the games that are played according to some schedule. Like some form of game stations. Maybe they could broadcast them for the whole population somehow, so that everybody can talk about the games they ~~played~~ watched last week on their next town hall gathering or Sunday church with Aunt Lizzy.
