This is literally what Nintendo is doing right now.
They filled this suit, and only THEN filed for a bunch of extra patents they didn’t already have in order to increase the damages they could claim from Pocket Pair for being in violation.
I already think patents for game design mechanics are idiotic an unethical, but this is absolutely insane.
Doubt that any company would get away with this. Maybe only biggest hundred or so

Yeah, I said “get away with” and you said “they are doing” these can both be true, and I even provided the reason, too big to fail.
