    Interesting. Yes, that is a bit more specific.

    I personally do not support game design patents because that’s not how gaming works (and people who file such game design patents know this).

    What are the other two patents like if you don’t mind me asking? Aiming in particular seems openly malicious (as do mounts to be honest).

      The second one is an older application of the first patent (pokeball again). The third one is literally just being able to mount an object or creature with some caveats like a flying one having to come down and carry you up, that one is ridiculous and a lot of games do something similar all the time.

        Skyrim did it first with dragons. Honestly I bought palworld specifically to spite shitendo and ended up pleasantly surprised by a very playable game. Shitendo is just mad that someone else did it better on a shoestring budget

          I’m pretty sure there were flying mounts even before Skyrim. Hell, go all the way back to joust.
