"Woah, woah, woah, those previous patents were earned through very hard work from our "lobbyist". If you do that, I want the bribe money back... I mean lobby money!"

Nintendo, prob.

Consider it like an investment - one that tanked, so there's no money to give back.

Need to look at that Nemesis system as well. These concepts should not get patents.

It never should have gotten through in the first place.

This is just a prime example of the government caving to businesses simply because they're popular.

Make no mistake: the only rule is mob rule.

Nintendo charges what it does for their games and """services""" so they can use that money against you.

Anyone saying "they're a business and they need to make money!" is a useful idiot and needs to be written off as such.

get fucked, nintendo

Very unlikely, but I hope they go "Mario, this sucks actually, so you can't have it anymore."
