      Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.

          I have said this to every person that has gushed about the game to me, often more than once per person.

                Stardew Valley was totally, unquestionably copying harvest moon. And its fantastic.

                It's not just that, it *deliberately* copied Harvest Moon. Eric Barone (Concerned Ape) even said so

                  IP laws are meant to protect creators, but are backdoored by corporate personhood. Remove corporate personhood and the world of IP law immediately becomes less toxic.

                    So Nemesis System is an enemy that you will find multiple times through the game and he will be different according to your choices? How didn't Nintendo sue WB saying they copied it from the first Pokemon game.

                    It would open up using Pokémon as an example of prior art in court.

                      In fact, I'd go so far as to *encourage* copying others. Not plagiarising outright, as in claiming it as your own, but taking a concept and doing it yourself. "Oh that game is just a copy of Animal Crossing." You think you can make a better Animal Crossing? Go for it. Let me decide who did it better and which one I wanna play.

                      Yes someone did exactly this: it's called "Dinkum" and it's fantastic, much better than the Animal Crossing game that hit the Switch.

                          I'm guessing the video owner is YouTube, I'd be surprised if the channel can control that. How are you trying to watch the video?

                          You probably know more about YouTube channel controls than i do. Anyway, piefed, in a post. The video worked at first, then it didn't.

                              Because they probably use the word procedural somewhere. _Scripted_ repeat enemy encounters is decades older than Pokemon

                                I don't know, makes a lot of sense critically to me. If you think about the last few big games they were behind, Hogwarts Legacy stands out, Mortal Kombat I guess, throw in what ever the last Lego game was. But you also have Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, Multiversus these massive games that just have an awful reputation. Arkham Knight is nearly a decade old, Middle Earth series is around that same time. Back for Blood is newish but that never exactly set the world on fire. My gut reaction was pretty shocked, cause I have amazing memories and fondness of some WB games, then I remember that was 10+ years ago with MK9, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Mad Max, Bastion, Scribblenauts...

                                    WB hasn't used the nemesis system since 2017, and likely won't use it again at this point. By the time the patent expires it might be a lost system.

                                    The “nemesis system” is just hundreds of voice lines and a dice roll to decide when they pop up. I liked the middle earth games but always thought it was funny how they pushed the nemesis system like some kind of groundbreaking thing.

                                      It's more the hierarchy of having super bad that can get bonuses based on your actions.

                                          Interesting. I guess that's a piefed feature? Is there a client that you are using or is this just using the web ui?
