Your first sentence, but unironically.

Big corp probably isn't as devoted to milking one IP asset to the detriment of its adoption. And they may have the resources to make more products in-house that utilize the tech.

I agree that the patent system needs modification in the long run, though.

Counterpoint: game publishers are more than happy to sit on an IP without releasing a game for years. For example Dune (the board game). Dungeon Keeper. Hexen 3 (Hecatomb). Rune 2. Prey 2.

Duke Nukem Forever... actually happened.
