Company A came up with the steering wheel to be used for games and patents it so no other company or game can use such a device (at least racers could still be made). Company B patents the light gun for games so we never get to experience Duck Hunt on the NES. Company C patents game cartridges so consoles as we know them never come into existance. You get the picture, so why would you want Nintendo to patent something like that which could result in some new gaming experience or revolution in gaming never happening or put off by years or decades? |
Well someone is going to patent and own the technology, thats how the system works. I would rather it be a well known company who has proven innovative and capable of putting ideas to use. Especially if that company truly came up with the idea in the first place.
Granted I would prefer ideas to be used freely but thats not how it works usually.
