      When it comes to "IP" as a general concept a lot of the energy people spend getting outraged about copyright would be much better spent getting outraged about patentshttps://twitter.com/CaseyExplosion/status/1358067729996132352 …

      Reading replies actually congratulating Warner Bros for patenting the nemesis system is doing psychic damage this morning. I don't know what sort of corporate lickspittle you have to be to celebrate this, it's a blow to gaming and creativity and they're high fiving it. pic.twitter.com/p2cvCXPhxB

      It's not that big a deal to me whether someone can keep on making new games explicitly set in Tolkien's Middle-Earth using named characters from Lord of the Rings and whatnot

      It is a big deal if you can't use a cool game mechanic from Shadow of Mordor in any other context in any other game without paying them Specifically *because it was such a cool mechanic* they decided it was eligible for a patent

          You're not wrong, but the shorter expiration time on patents, and the high cost of getting one is probably why there's not as much attention focused on them. It's one thing to have to wait 15-20 years, it's another to have to wait a century.

          Yeah but people have a good point that not every game mechanic is something that will stay relevant across tech advantages over those 15-20 years. The loading screen minigame patent meant that no games during the PS2 and most of the PS3 era could do that.

          Most patents are trash. It’s almost always the case any practitioner of the art would find the same solution being patented. I have 20+ issued patents in various technologies and maybe 2-3 should have issued. It’s a disaster for innovation.
