23 days agoIt’s been over £10 everywhere I’ve been for many years. Just can’t justify it anymore, especially when they skimp out on the chips ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Game mechanics can be patented. It’s stupid, but things such as “loading screen mini games” and “overhead arrows pointing to your objective” have been patented. The second I believe even got enforced once.
I think these kind of things have been getting approved less and less, but I wouldn’t be surprised if “balls that contain monsters” was patented back in the early days too.
