Waiting until now for your Loading Screen Jam is the least disrespectful thing anybody could do for this bad patent!

The smart thing would be to use this time to raise awareness of other creativity-stifling videogame patents. They must exist

Still 12 years until EA's Mass Effect dialogue wheel patent expires, but at least we'll be able to play a minigame while we wait
