Here you can discuss the new article "Patents in Gaming" on Onrpg

Do you think it's right that corporate companies license every inch of any game, making it nearly impossible for smaller game companies to set up something workable for their audiences (you)?

What do you think?

Well nothing is original anymore in my opinion and every company in the world just feeds off each others ideas.

I especially get sick when people use the word original in advertising..... makes me wanna cut their tongue out and break all their fingers.

They might be original, but they are not unique

Uhh definition of original is first ever made...... and yeah modified copies are not an original.

But saying "We stole shit from these companies and made it our own!" wont look good in advertisements.

There's not much you can do about it, people have to cover their asses and their wallets at the same time these days. ;o Anyways, Jesus BG, don't you think your writing was a bit excessively described at some points?

Whats the point of that?
All games are ripoffs of eachother anyways.

thats the way the industry works

who cares as long as their is the occasional diamond amongst the other turds clogging the pipe.
