@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter Aren't patents reserved for inventions of specific products and production methods? Not concepts or atlethic techniques.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter you can patent the nemesis system because there is an actual.. system, within software, that they designed.

not saying it's right, but they can, and did, do that. patents last 20 years btw (max).

you can't patent throwing a ball. it'd have to be a device throwing the ball, or the ball itself because of it being a new thing.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter if you played really old games that had mini-games during loading screens, and then noticed that disappeared, that is because that was patented by some gay company.

Oh, and the "Loading Bar" was also at one point patented.
