In #NYT's rationale to go after 100s of #Wordle clones, they keep bringing up a new term: "copyrighted #gameplay".
This language is EXTREMELY dangerous. NYT MUST NOT get away with this. Else, other companies will feel motivated to go after ANY #clone or even just game that is "similar enough". It could be their slow death.
This is 100% an attack on #gaming itself as the gaming world was always very derivative.
