Damn... that is a shit ton of money... 1.82% of 3DS wholesale price as a royalty? Damnnn!!!

A couple of bucks for each device sold...

Which is a lot of money for doing virtually nothing since its a royalty, and I am guessing its for all future 3ds as well... Its not a big loss for Nintendo or anything but its a big gain for that company...

Doing nothing? They developed the tech and Nintendo took it without paying.

Yea but they are not manufacturing the Camera or anything like that... Yea there are R&D Costs and patent but apart from that... they can basically just sit back and get a royalty from Nintendo. I am not saying they don't have the right to have the royalty, I am just saying that there isn't any future cost involved to have this royalty
