If that were the case, it would specify game data on the patent. It's not, because it isn't.

It wouldn't if the cards aren't just for games, if apps and other software come on them then terms like program 24 and 25 make sense because game data is a program as well so it could be just a broad term for the encryption data and what ever program is on the card.
