I bought a $10,000 Linux license from SCO in 2002. Shouldn't I get this for free?

People were freaking out about FPGAs, microcontrollers, etc. that were in some of these drones. Fact is most (all?) of it was older & EOL things that you can find on Ali Express and other sites for peanuts.

There's no way to stop the recyclers from selling the parts off.

Apparently the Thief IP was part of this deal. I would love to see a new game in the Thief franchise that played like the first three games and not a hand-holding, quicktime event mess like the reboot.
