CaptainBasculinFor reference, the alledged patents are these:
einkornHold my bacon, one can patent the idea that a game character switches mounts depending on a given state? (Image 3)
TimeSquirrelSoftware parents are fucked, ain't they? You can implement a thing using completely different code, algorithms, hell even programming languages/CPU architectures, and you'd still be infringing. There was some stupid fight over a simple slider UI element to unlock a phone a few years back.
Yeah software patents should be like “this exact code” or something along these lines. I mean patenting “hello world” should give you billions
Code is already copyrighted by default, so no need for software patents. Luckily software patents are null and void in EU, so I don’t have to worry about that.
Seems like it. So when you come down from the sky on your flying mount and get close to the ground, you swap to a horse mount for example.
How can one patent this… wtf!
