I tried checking out that first patent there,
5930111
and who boy... is this shit hard to readOkay this might fit
Fuck off.... that could literally mean anything.... I've read Trump quotes that were more intelligible than that....
How is anyone supposed to proof their work from not only this, but every single other bullshit patent out there?
What the actual fuck
Okay what the hell did I just read?
From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn't this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto "fuse" (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?
After attempting to read through it, seems like a menu to fuse or combine game objects which contain some form of sorting system as dictated by the player.. So I'm going to assume they mean their phantasy star online 2 ~~weapon~~ item fusion system.
It's such a rough definition that this can only be classified as a patent troll case. Not that they care about hiding that fact.
