    the patent wasnt even granted until last yesr or 2 iirc, because it kept on getting found too general…long as you don’t exactly copy their code your good.

    the reason noones done something similar since is because you have to build your whole game around it

        and the game was released in 2014, the reason noone has done similar isnt becauss of some patent. nobody reads patents that’s the whole point of patent trolling

          Totally, yeah. Just wanted to highlight how long ago that whole debacle was and how old it makes me feel :(
