I cannot see how they can reasonably copyright the idea of having characters remember you which is basically all the nemesis system is. There are many ways to implement it that wouldn’t violate patent, of course it’s in WBs interest to not nose that one around too much
You can try, but WB will troll you in court for years and drown you out on legal fees to prove it isn’t a violation of a patent. So, most consider it not worth it.
You think that patent abuse is right, and that’s why everyone in this thread hates your comments. You think the system is fine. The fact that you are inside but can’t understand how corporations abuse the system and think others are wrong or misinformed when they oppose this abuse, is troubling. You think we are ignorant or misinformed, but no, we do know how intellectual property works. We disagree and find it disgusting for moral reasons that it works that way. That’s very different.
Patents genuinely are wonderful. The rockstar devs are going to be rewarded for their innovation. They will hire out licenses so that other games can use the tech they developed.

Yeah, just like WB did with the Nemesis system, right? Oh wait.

Yeah, imagine if there was an area of software development where people could freely view, copy and modify each others works.

That would imply there are no devs or even entire companies working on open source software and getting paid.
Just because you work on open source, doesn’t mean you don’t get paid.
Dude, maybe you do work on patents and know your shit. But boy are you clueless about the video game industry.
I thought the man was joking then I saw his smooth brained response below. Software patents are cancer and shouldn’t exist.
