Nygma had created the video game 'The Riddle of the Minotaur' for the company, which makes the company millions. However, Nygma isn't getting the credit he deserves for creating the game and feels he should be the one with the all the money as it was his own creation. Daniel Mockrigde fires him. Nygma tells Mockrigde that he is making a big mistake letting him go as the company owed him the prestige for developing the game and he would be losing the most intellectual person in the company.
