I was recently discussing Farcry 2 with some friends and how cool the fire spread system was - And how it essentially was never used again after that title.

Is there a cool feature or mechanic you’ve seen in a game and hope to see more of?

    The nemesis system patents and Namco’s loading screen mini game patent are two examples of why game mechanics and features should never be granted an exclusive patent.

    Of course Namco’s patents expired in 2015 at a time when seamless load screens had become the industry standard.

    Who knows what the gaming landscape will look like when people are finally able to get their hands on the nemesis system again?
