>>58252162i think most people universally find the pokemon patents to be faggoty as fuck
>>58252168The funny part is how wrong people are being about them. Like the funniest version of internet telephone.According to people on the internet they patented the very concept of monster catching when what they did is so highly specific it might as well be "they patented the right to catch monsters on the first third of the month on a equal number year as long as a blue moon happened within the past 18 days and the person playing the game is named greg."
>>58252162nintendo needs to be broken up
>>58252162>B-but it has blocks so it's a Minecraft cloneDo poketards really?
>>58252224Hi, Nintendo employee
>>58252224That’s how 90% of video game patents work. You hear “Nintendo copyrighted catching creatures” and then look into it and the patent specifically covers “capturing creatures in throwable balls/orbs and displaying whether the capture worked by having the ball/orb shake until successful capture.”
>>58252782>>58252224>lawyers making statements that Nintendo's patents are wildly out of step with the patent system and overly broad>tendies still assure us that Bing Bing Wahoo company dindu nuttinwho should i believe
>>58252865Those lawyers belong to Sony, so you can come up with your own conclusionsThe truth is patents, copyrights and trademarks are a scam to make conglomerate teams more successful which oppresses actual, small developers
>>58252884Didn't Nintendo lose the Wavebird lawsuit against freaking Atari?
If you don't patent it before someone else, then someone else can rip it out from under you without even using it. Children cannot fathom the depravity of the legal system.>loading screen mini-games
>>58252224The patented concept goes along the lines of "If you summon a creature while pointing at a target the creature will specifically attack it right aways without needing another order", right?
>>58252965
>>58252884If copyright was a reasonable length it would actually be okay-ish, but perpetual copyright is totalitarian, which is not controversial to argue.
Blocks didn't exist before 2008
>>58252162Nintendo published Harvest Moon in EU lol
>>58252979If Sega actually wanted to bring Cream back but couldn't because of this patent, I would kamikaze Game Freak.
>>58253001cubivore
>>58252979>>58253148Cheese is always floating around Cream (at least in the Advance games) so you technically summon a creature at all, this wouldn't infringe the patent
>>58253160So you technically don't summon*
