    Why do they need a patent for this? How would this not conflict with just tv remotes? Like it’s not a bad feature, but blocking anyone else from having a rewind button without paying them seems like an overstep for such a basic addition.

      Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it.

      If they get the patent, even if they don’t do it, anyone who does have to pay them.

      Video games and TVs are different enough devices

          I think givesomefucks is more explaining than defending the process in their comment.

          I’ll never understand why trolls make a new account referencing the banned one, makes it easy to block at least
