Patenting game mechanics is extremely frowned upon in the industry. the Shadow of Mordor games patented their nemesis system and they still get slammed for it to this day. It stifles creativity and progress and I always hate seeing it. I agree with Johnny about the precedent being set by the lawsuit.
Amazing time hanging with you guys
