     Did you know that until november 2015, Bandai Namco held the patent for "auxiliary games", basically minigames, during loading screens

     It's now expired but hardly anyone uses it today and guess why

     Personally I freaking hate IP in the gaming industry

     Like always, big corpo's have patents on the most simple things and even game mechanics..

     I understand that copying 1-1 isn't a good thing but at current state they're gonna even patent a color, number or letter

     He, X? Patent my ass 😘
