    Sony is also not actively getting patents that are so broad the it stifles competition like Nintendo does, and did specifically to try and win the Palworld lawsuit.

      No, they’re probably doing it too. They definitely did it in mobile phones, suing Apple for having phone call ringer silencing tech in their phones for instance; I would be surprised if they aren’t doing it in gaming too.

        But did Sony get that patent after the fact, or did they already have it and went after Apple for using the tech? Both are stupid, the first is just worse than the other.

          Personally, I don’t think the patent should’ve been granted in the first place, so either way I think it’s totally stupid.
