Strange that you can patent a game mechanic in software. What's next, the superhero landing? The vpose with a bent leg? Running a certain way with a gun between waypoints?

We are still suffering the effects of bad software patents. Tons of garbage patents were granted in the form of "common everyday thing, but on a computer." A notable one was the digital shopping cart that was eventually invalidated.

There are no good software patents. The concept should be abolished.
