IP laws are meant to protect creators, but are backdoored by corporate personhood. Remove corporate personhood and the world of IP law immediately becomes less toxic.
Copyright made sense when it was a decade or two. Industrial patents seem basically functional. Trademark’s mostly truth-in-advertising for consumer choice.
But software patents aren’t about how you do something - they’re claiming the entire concept, in the broadest possible terms, and killing it. Straight-up murdering that potential. It is denied the necessary iterative competition that turns dogshit first implementations into must-have features. Nobody’s gonna care in twenty years.
Entire hardware form-factors have come and gone in a single decade. Can you imagine if swipe keyboards were still single-vendor, and still worked like in 2009? Or maybe Apple bought them, and endlessly bragged about how Android can’t do [blank], because fifty thousand dollars changed hands in the 3G era.
How many games would not exist, if Nintendo had decided they own sidescrollers? A whole genre, wiped out, because a piece of paper says those mechanics are theft.
In fact, I’d go so far as to encourage copying others. Not plagiarising outright, as in claiming it as your own, but taking a concept and doing it yourself.
“Oh that game is just a copy of Animal Crossing.”
You think you can make a better Animal Crossing? Go for it. Let me decide who did it better and which one I wanna play.
So Nemesis System is an enemy that you will find multiple times through the game and he will be different according to your choices? How didn’t Nintendo sue WB saying they copied it from the first Pokemon game?

I’d like to see Nemesis used in an IP I actually give a shit about
Somebody modded it into Skyrim if that helps
It would if I could get modded Skyrim to work. Months working on my mod list only for it CTD on start up.
I have said this to every person that has gushed about the game to me, often more than once per person.
Fuck software patents.

Yes someone did exactly this: it’s called “Dinkum” and it’s fantastic, much better than the Animal Crossing game that hit the Switch.
Stardew Valley was totally, unquestionably copying harvest moon. And its fantastic.
It’s not just that, it deliberately copied Harvest Moon. Eric Barone (Concerned Ape) even said so
Huh. Imagine that.
I’m guessing the video owner is YouTube, I’d be surprised if the channel can control that.
How are you trying to watch the video?
WB hasn’t used the nemesis system since 2017, and likely won’t use it again at this point. By the time the patent expires it might be a lost system.
Maybe Netflix will?
I don’t think Netflix care about WB Games at all.
Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.
That’s the final piece Netflix needed to FINALLY make a game from their game studio.
/s

It would open up using Pokémon as an example of prior art in court.

Video refuses to play on Grayjay right now, at least on my end… ☹️
Could be your VPN or something. I like to use PipePipe as a backup.
Nah, no VPN here. I had tried loading the video earlier like 5 times and it simply wouldn’t play. Oddly enough, now it plays fine on Grayjay… 🤷
