How the hell can one have patent of ‘catching a creature through aiming’ or even more crazy to me ‘riding a creature’ in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?
Greed. Simple as that. They only care for money. And they used to get a pass because they made good games. Not anymore.
Riding a creature. “Daggerfall” had ride-able horses. That’s the oldest example I can think off. But there’s probably something even older than that.
Joust?
suing over an amended patent is utter bullshit. get fucked nintendo.
They tried to make video game rentals illegal in the US. They’ve always been a shitty, anti-consumer company.
I used to love Nintendo but I’m done with their litigious bullshit
I still love their games and franchises, but damn I hate them as a company
I loved them but Nintendo’s overzealous attacks on hobbyists and indie devs has killed any enjoyment I had left. For a while there I thought they might’ve turned the page on that, but sadly I was mistaken.
Also, stick drift.
Plus Steam Deck is infinitely better.
Game mechanics should not be patentable, change my mind.
So they got a new patent after a competitor’s game comes out, and used that new patent to sue the competitor out of existence.
Fucking IP law is broken.
