What? Apart from these features being in Dota 2 for two and a half years, it's really weird that they patented a feature in a game, isn't it? | ||

For more information on how terrible this can be listen to this: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/496/when-patents-attack-part-two Not that Riot is necessarily being the bad guy for doing this, they may just be protecting themselves. the test will be whether they just hold on to this ridiculous patent or if they wield it as a club against other companies. | ||

Especially for games, they copy each other extremely and evolve because of that. Imagine if id patented 3d shooters after releasing Doom. | ||

Thats a very interesting question. Perhaps even a profitable one. ... brb. I would seriously not be surprised if american patent law allowed someone to patent the concept of a "first person camera viewpoint in interactive media" and then go around suing developers of first person games. | ||

Is this the first time a feature or a mechanic in a game was patented? Probably not even close. I'd be very surprised if there weren't some patent infringement conflict between Konami, Andamiro, and Roxor games over dance game design in the past (Konami did go to court against Roxor, but the wording of their case seems to have referred mostly to unfair competition by retrofitting actual DDR cabinets rather than infringement on the design of the game, I don't know what the other details were anymore). | ||
