Yeh if this case is successful, every software company in the world could be sued.

ThanatosDMC5614d ago

How the patents work is really so screwed up sometimes.

these days companys love to sue big companys like sony,ms,apple,google etc

drdistracto7075615d ago

too bad the smaller company always loses, then again, they deserve to lose if they even attempted to go at all 3

Review - Heading Out (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Heading Out combines genres and styles which might sound incompatible at first glance, but did so in a very interesting manner, resulting in a truly unique roguelike experience. I, for one, really liked the presentation as well, with its slick visuals and soundtrack.

I remember the same thing in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft sure love to copy paste stuff in their games.
