Not only does it give a new reason to play a classic but it also gets people to buy the game just for the trophies. It's good for gamers and business. But what I really want to point out is how you really shouldn't be able to patent an idea like this. It's like putting a hat on a donkey and saying nobody else can do it because you thought of it first. Patents are for inventions and adding trophies to old games is not an invention. HD collections have added trophies and Konami recently patched MGS4 with trophies. So it's not even the first time trophies have been added to a game that didn't have them originally. Great idea, bad patent. |
By your logic, all Apple patents would have to be considerd bad!
