The lawsuit came as a surprise, and led the developer to "hire security guards" for its Tokyo Game Show presence.

    This is literally what Nintendo is doing right now.

    They filled this suit, and only THEN filed for a bunch of extra patents they didn’t already have in order to increase the damages they could claim from Pocket Pair for being in violation.

    I already think patents for game design mechanics are idiotic an unethical, but this is absolutely insane.

      Yeah, I said “get away with” and you said “they are doing” these can both be true, and I even provided the reason, too big to fail.
