Nintendo's New Patent is There Just To Kill Indie Projects

Описание: Nintendo and The Pokémon Company just got a U.S. patent for summoning a helper character to fight enemies — a mechanic that’s been around for decades. In this video, I break down exactly what this patent covers, why it’s embarrassing for Nintendo, and how it shows they’re scared of competition.
We’ll go over:
What the patent actually covers
How prior art could make this patent invalid
Examples from Final Fantasy, Diablo II, World of Warcraft, and more
Why this move is bad for indie developers and the gaming community
Nintendo is acting like they’re one competitor away from being beaten at their own game. It’s insecure, it’s monopolistic, and honestly… it’s embarrassing.
