Btw. the patented Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor that everyone loved despite only having been used in that ~~one~~ game series, won't expire until 2036, and yeah, Warner Bros. gets to keep it.
Wasn't it also used in the sequel, Shadow of War?
Still bullshit that something like that can be patented.
It is bullshit indeed. Especially now with AI, seemingly it would be relatively easier to throw in some adversarial llm in a game to keep a game engaging nowadays.
And imagine if other games started patenting systems like that: "Fatrolling is a unique movement system only found in FromSoftware games". Soon there wouldn't be anyone making games except for those with patents.
PS: Thanks for the correction.
