If only necromancy were real. They could summon and battle Gygax in court.
I don’t know what went wrong that such a patent was granted. I absolutely loathe IP people.

Fuck Nintendo, and fuck US copyright
Like the other guy said it’s a patient. I don’t know why these days it seems like the patent office is allowing patents for vague concepts, But it needs to stop. The entirety of the video game industry is built on itineration of ideas and concepts that came before. How much longer before they try to patent jumping?
I thought you had to prove it was unique concept before patenting something, anyway. These have obvious examples from other places
Give them enough rope, and they’ll try to patent opening a menu or pausing the game…
This isn’t a copyright, but rather a patent.
Same shit, different spicing.
Arguably copyright is worse.
People literally die of preventable diseases due to patents. I can’t find any news regarding the last time some nutjob died because they couldn’t torrent Sham’alyan’s Avatar movie.
A fair point but I was meaning from a cultural vandalism angle.
