Comment on GTA 6 has patented a new locomotion system to make "highly dynamic and realistic animations"
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 year agoDude, maybe you do work on patents and know your shit. But boy are you clueless about the video game industry.
Maybe so, but nearly everybody in this thread is irritatingly wrong on how intellectual property works as a concept and in practice.
It’s only when you read internet comments on something you actually specialise in that you realise the average commenter is woefully misinformed.
Regardless, if R* decide not to license the tech that is their prerogative as they created it.
You think that patent abuse is right, and that’s why everyone in this thread hates your comments. You think the system is fine. The fact that you are inside but can’t understand how corporations abuse the system and think others are wrong or misinformed when they oppose this abuse, is troubling. You think we are ignorant or misinformed, but no, we do know how intellectual property works. We disagree and find it disgusting for moral reasons that it works that way. That’s very different.
Everyone in this thread is downvoting me because they are trying to out Marxist each other. I have never one claimed the patent system is perfect, but the people in this thread clearly don’t actually understand what is required to even receive a patent.
It’s typical, people know what systems they are against but never know what they are actually for. People say patents re unfair but never propose viable alternatives. The political analysis on Lemmy is frankly juvenile and utopic.
Patents genuinely are wonderful. The rockstar devs are going to be rewarded for their innovation. They will hire out licenses so that other games can use the tech they developed.

I thought the man was joking then I saw his smooth brained response below. Software patents are cancer and shouldn’t exist.
