There's no way this patent is allowed to stand. I'm pretty sure other games have already done this, or at least something very similar. Even if not though, it's kinda fucked-up to patent something like that.

Agreed reminds me of the nemesis gameplay mechanic from the Middle Earth games. No no one is able to repeat that feature. And they have not really used it either since.

Or loading screen mini games. However it’s expired

It's not a rational process. You can't make predictions about it like that.
