How convenient, This game was announced years ago and has been big for a long time.

They come out with this now for a quick payday. The game is coming out soon, they know Sony/Hello Games doesn't want a long legal battle and Genicap probably can't afford it anyway, so they say something now to get a quick pay day and settle the issue.

Actually I think this lawsuit is handled better than most as the game hasn't even come out yet and haven't made any money.

The real douchebags are the ones that file lawsuits like the one guy that was suing Nintendo for a patent on the 3DS that the 3DS has already been out for years making tons of money, thus that person was asking for alot more money.

I see your point there, but they could've come out with this over 2 years ago, and for some reason they come out with it weeks before launch so it's not financially viable for Sony/Hello Games to have a legal dispute over it, especially as the game has already been delayed. If these guys cared they would've come out a long time ago about it, of course Hello Games should've got licensing for it if they truly infringed on the patent theres no excuse for that.

But this is obviously an attempt for a quick payday
