Patenting gameplay mechanics is so fucking stupid

A big problem with this is the actual wages and working conditions in the gaming industry.
Do you, as a programmer worth a damn, get a job in some random company that pays better, has you work less, and has the possibility of promotion, or do you go to the games industry, get absolutely raped (sometimes physically too it seems) for lower wages, more hours, and a constant series of "Well, you want to work on the vidyagames, that's your dream, right?" and then get laid off after making a game that earned literal hundreds of millions of dollars?

Yeah, this is just the end result of the gaming industry's exploitative nature towards its devs. Don't forget the major concern now that you could be working on a game for 7 years of your life but some DEI fag will come in by year 4 and ruin it and now everyone's afraid to put 7 years of their life on their fucking resume because of how radioactive that product's name is.

Quite a flip to see Capcom go from... whatever the fuck their marketing for Exoprimal and Dragon's Dogma 2 was to going hard on Vtubers for Wilds.
Though, Laimu was also sponsored for Dragon's Dogma 2.

Please tell me they're no longer sponsoring those drag pedos.
