WB has that system copyrighted so no one else can. how is that system even copyrighted? so if i made a game with factions of NPCs, who can wander freely, fight each other, and then those fights affect their stats/equipment, all while the player actions also have an effect on NPCs... I will get sued? it's almost as dumb as Crazy Taxi patenting their car arrow and pedestrians that jump out of the way of your car. I've had to put off publicly posting my game until I was able to confirm that the patent is expired (it is now, but still) I think the pedestrians jumping out of the way is still under some sort of protection, so studios like Rockstar have to pay money to Sega whenever they release games cus GTA pedestrians also jump out of the way. --- ? <cite>BucketCat posted [p:980331401] in favorite m...
