if patents were actually used properly it would be no issue. They were meant to prevent other companies from stealing your mechanic as you were still in development, however it’s changed to be an abuse tactic to prevent others from entering the field.

Can’t wait for modders to mod it back in.

I wondered about this. Would they be in violation if these were mods made by them that they received no additional payment for? Does it matter if it’s released officially or by individual accounts of the devs?
Thankfully Nintendo can’t do shit about every day modders.

No more gliding with pals. You need to have a glider. Gliding buffs still work though.

So you gave a negative review to a game that’s more or less forced to make changes because of a different shitty company?
