Quote by: Pooeypants Mr V, we're fan of PC games right? Well, how would you like it if they were allowed patents on generic game mechanics? Just how much variety do you think we'd be able to get?
I think you've misunderstood what this ruling is about and making a huge fuss over nothing. Perhaps your hatred of Europe is blinding you once more? |
I have no hatred of Europe, so please don't try that bullshit on me okay?
I haven't misunderstood anything. This ruling keeps companies from Patenting software. I.E. If I spend 50 million to make software, and I sell it in the EU I have no portiection from you, or anyone else taking that software and using it "open source"
Sure if I make Doomaggeddon, they cannot take the game, change the title and resell it, but if I create a software engine, you can use that without asking. It's open source.
I think you don't see the ramifications here.
