I'm suing each and every person on Earth for violating my patent! It is a, "System for breaking down and processing foods for excretion." I call it, "Pooping".

From what I've seen in the youtube video posted, how can that even be considered a game. That was the most frightning and god awful thing I have ever seen.

How do people even get patents for this kind of stuff.... They received the patent in 2010 and yet virtual worlds have existed since, the 70's at least? The patent system needs to be redone.

That's why patent trolls go after the little guys first, get a stack of settlements and prior results/precedent to give them more to fight with when it comes to hitting the big guys.

aye, it's sad really that it works this way.

Someone should pay this company a visit with a can of unleaded and a few matches.

I applaud World Inc. This is a good thing.

Hopefully someone will notice what kind of madness our current patent system is and change it.
That "thing" hasn't changed since it was introduced. It worked great while it lasted. But since the PC, it just doesn't work. Change it !

I'm going to apply for a patent for patenting, so that I can sue every company that's made a patent for violating my patent.

...patent.

I see a few mmo's joining forces and simply buying them out entirely and firing the ceo and laughing at them. The cost in legal fees would probably be far more then if they just bought out said patent trolling company.
Ohh, Shiney!
