“GTAV has patented”

Videogames now go to patent office and do things!

    There’s no way this patent is allowed to stand. I’m pretty sure other games have already done this, or at least something very similar. Even if not though, it’s kinda fucked-up to patent something like that.

      Agreed reminds me of the nemesis gameplay mechanic from the Middle Earth games. No no one is able to repeat that feature. And they have not really used it either since.

      It’s not a rational process. You can’t make predictions about it like that.
