It’s shown that gameplay sequences would be split up into subchapters complete with ‘trigger points’ that players can select from, planting them in the heart of the specific scene they want to replay in a matter of seconds.

Acting like they invented save points...

They invented save-scumming

So they're practically trying to patent a ram dump for specific points in games. How exactly is that going to work, without fucking over the entire rest of the industry?

Remember when Bandai Namco obtained a patent covering any kind of minigame on a loading screen?

Patents and software have always been a fucked combination.

Fuck software patents

I will never forgive WB for patenting the nemesis system and never doing anything again with it.

[–] AaronMaria@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

This should not be possible to patent WTF

Wanna replay that one game but I have no game saves left from my original playthrough. I also do not want to have to do that completely bullshit mission in the first half of the game…

If it'll let me jump ahead to after chapter 1 of Cyberpunk 2077, I'm all for it.
