@TerryHancock @AnnemarieBridy Same with more and more #patents:
They don't act as #reward for #innovation to offset the #risk of #inventing stuff that can bankrupt individiduals easy on their way to a #prototype, but usually they're just used as a means to exclude #competition and prevent someone from making a better copy if not deny everyone to use the tech at all...
For example, #NAMCO literally patented #Minigames in #LoadingScreens:

Why #LoadingScreens were so boring:
Because #NAMCO had #patented essentially #MiniGames during #LoadingTime"...

Seriously, #SoftwarePatents should be #illegal and #abolished!
