I swear I've seen them in non Namco games. Splatoon?

Thats what i was thinking

"companies that wanted to put mini-games during loading screens either had to pay Namco Bandai, work around the patent or give up on the idea"

It says you can pay for it or come up with a work around (no idea how that would be!)
