Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

Less competition means morem profit for few. More competition means more profit overall for many (revenue). It means more quality, or at least where the critical point is quality/price is at its best when talking about mass products.In da butt.

That's not how it's supposed to work. That's how it can go if it's going wrong but that's not the general idea.
Just curious.. you're not a commie, are you? I mean no offense, it would just explain a lot.In da butt.

Software patents are even more obnoxious because software is fundamentally math , and most useful patents are just patenting some formula that academics knew about for decades .

The good thing about the gaming industry is there are no new concepts. No broad new concepts anyway. Everything has been done. 4x, TBS, RTS, FPS, simulations, action games, sports games, trivia games, RPG, etc. You name it, it has been done. As a result, I don't see any patents, if absurdedly granted, could stand.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.
