    Visual similarities ≠ identical mechanic.

    FS’s is a way for human players to interact in each others games. And racing ghosts are just asynchronous multiplayer.

    This is literal hand-holding so the player doesn’t have to bother actually playing the game.

      Right. I’m going to have to suggest you re-read my comment and the context. What I was saying was that a ghost function that isn’t AI-powered wouldn’t be susceptible to legal action under this patent. I also have no doubt Sony will force this in anyway. All of the big companies have gone gaga for AI. I have absolutely no idea why other than very poorly made projections, but the reality is they insist on using the biggest crowbar they can find.
