Game mechanic patents are bad for the industry, and they are bad patents. They are an abuse of the system, which is clearly decades behind with games, and are using the guise of software language to protect ideas to instill fear into the marketplace. They will make your future favorite games worse.

Patents are meant to reward ingenuity for new, useful and non-obvious inventions and improvements, but instead, in the game space they are being used to attempt to block ingenuity by granting monopoly periods to game mechanics which arguably do not meet the basic criteria for patentability.
