One of the major reasons that we left that dark ages is because the Government started protecting property. When there were rules that said "No, John owns this land and you cannot take it." and "No, John made this invention and only he can profit from it.", people were compelled to invent and earn because they would actually be assured the benefits of their products.
Also, your example provided is one of the most horrendous instances of illogical fallacy I have ever seen, and is probably a clusterforget of three or four different ones.
"My name is Eric Hartman. I made a game called Blockland. Here's proof I made Blockland, and only I should be able to collect profit from it because it is my idea and my invention."
That is an example of Intellectual Property.
I also work online developing software for an Australian company that had me sign an Non-disclosure agreement over the code of their system. Why? Even though I wrote a lot of code, it's not my product. I am an employee of that company and they are buying my code as a contractor for use in their product. The product is their Intellectual Property, and I am an employee that develops it.
This is an extremely important concept.
