Patent trolls. Honestly at this rate soon nobody will be able to make anything.

So your telling me that every company should use ALL the patents they have?

Nah, I just noticed a lot of patents being registered by MS, and I felt like they were trying to squeeze the competition out that way without necessarily using them, and it's kind of lame if that's true. Of course that's just an early suspicion and I could be very wrong.

That is not what a patent troll does. A patent troll's main goal is sue other companies that infringe on its patents (patents that they don't use).

I know, that's what I mean. They're covering territory to stop competition from using the idea, because if they did the PTs would sue them.

I could see calibration being a big issue and that seems a like a lot of work to get into said controller just to play a game.
