Game design patents are fucking stupid

Any technically not allowed. Not that that'll stop them.

Can you explain? I wish this was true but I don't believe it

What he might be referring to is that you can't patent code, at least in the US. But, the lawsuit is in Japan, so who tf knows.

But code subject to copyright (which I agree with the concept of but it needs a reform). While concepts and ideas in computer programs and games can be patented (which I think is tremendously stupid)
