open world puzzle game would be fun

I always thought you could eventually tie some version of all the other games into SNEE, minus plot events of course.

Now that,would truly be a MSO.

Nintendo stole Mat's idea! Sue those bitches!

Sadly patents don't work that way... It's a "Who comes first" system...

Actually I think Mateusz put the MSO message in SNEE the first. Imagine if he sues Nintendo and they have to pay him

[Sublevel 114]

I remember we discussed it one year ago...
but wait... THEY REALLY STOLE MATEUSZ'S IDEA!!!
Does Mateusz know? Why did Mateusz not sue them?

[Vortex]

Well, Nintendo is a big company and they filed the patent first, so probably it won't have that much effect, I don't know.

But if it's Nintendo who sues Mateusz, he is in his right because he used the term before.

If Mateusz claims Prior Art (e.g. says that he made it up first), they will just have to drop the patent and he can then license it to them. No suing involved unless they refuse to license it from him. I don't even think they are going to use it in a reasonable time frame. Most companies just patent stuff so nobody else can do it without paying them. It is kind of sad, really.
