!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Man, fuck Nintendo for doing this patent troll shit.

Good, it's a ridiculously generic patent. It only exists so they can bully smaller developers that threaten to compete with them.

The scope of games to which this could apply is comical. For example, Skyrim would violate this patent because you can conjure familiars to fight for you. Even many card games and strategy games could technically violate this patent.

Non final decision but looks promising so far.
