@tomie this one isn't even a copyright issue, it's a fucking PATENT issue which is even worse. it is ridiculous that companies can patent game mechanics and then nobody else can use them, like that fucking namco loading screen minigame thing.
@tomie nintendo needs to fucking die honestly. agghhh i love their games but holy shit they are an absolutely wretched company.
@beardalaxy Atari should've patented "move pixels with a controller" and killed videogames right on the spot
copyrights, patents, trademarks, whatever, abolish them all 💀
@beardalaxy @tomie Yeah I thought this was already a settled thing, like wasn't there a Mario ripoff that Nintendo sued for and the courts said you can't copyright gameplay mechanics, therefore anyone can make a platformer? I guess the patent is just another level deeper and Nintendo is feeling like it's time to try again...
@tomie
100%
This is just bullshit
