Quoting: MamboFuck any lawyer involved in filing this sort of patent.

I hope the patents get invalidated for being unoriginal and obvious and Nintendo goes back to making their own games without sucking air from the entire industry.

there is any consequence for the patent being rejected? because im pretty sure nintendo should be sued for even trying to patent ridiculous things like that.

Quoting: StellaThis is absolutely ridiculous. How is it even allowed to patent mechanics like 'catching and riding creatures' in the first place? They could sue a ton of games on that basis, like Ark: Survival, Monster Hunter Wings of Ruin, paleo Pines and many others. All those allow you to do that

ridding... red dead redemption let you ride horses...

this is ridiculous, date aside, it seems like we are patenting ideas instead of implementations.
i mean:
one thing is: no one know how to make an machine fly, you create an method, you get compensated for it...
another thing is: we patent the act of pressing an button and something happening on screen.
the fact that the player pressed an button has no impact on the result on screen,the programmers can code the button to do anything or even use an joystick axis or mouse movment to do the same action, there is no physical correlaction between the 2 things like an "cause and effect" due to physics, its just how the programer chose to "wire" the machine.

Quoting: tmtvlWhat is it with these weird alien distorted gamepads? My hands are mirror images of each other, why aren't these gamepads symmetric? Also: no touchpads, no Steam controller.

the goal is to make the most used buttons/stick more acessible than the others.

probably.
they assume we arent into fighting games...

still disapointed due to the lack of trackpads, but wow, now that sounds more like an official controller

Quoting: PyrateAs long as these devs don't post some statistics to support their "findings" I'll keep calling bullshit on this "Linux makes cheating easy".

I refuse to believe the amount of cheaters who would go out of their way and install a whole different OS just to cheat to be of any signifiacnce. Cheaters are lazy bitches, most of them would probably get filtered just by the aspect of dualbooting alone.

nope, many cheat solutions are way harder to install than an operating system.

Quoting: WYWLooking at the Steam reviews it looks like Apex is dying. It's been getting massive negative reviews since July, 43% positive reviews in the last 30 days. And 33% positive reviews so far today since this news dropped.

Looks like they are panicking and trying to find any easy solution to their bad image, but they just created more bad press in doing so.

Lifetime ratings are now at 68% which is "mixed" and will be turning off new players looking for a new game.

maybe the reviews are negative because the game got flooded with cheaters?

i dont care about those games (except maybe gta5) but the damage they are doing to the linux "brand" is quite bad.
