Apple is guilty of corporate slander and strong arming. SEGA's patent descriptions are as confusing as the architecture of the Sega Saturn. SEGA's patents are vague for a reason. They don't want others trying to variate their ideas. Nintendo was actually caught in the headlights regarding the design of Gamepad last year. They discovered that its prototypes functions were similar to the VMU, so they changed it.(Like I said, Wii's accessories ripped off the Dreamcast. The remote was actually being co-developed by Midway and SEGA back in 2000, and the Zapper is a blatant rip-off of Dreamcast's lightgun.) http://the-dreamcast-junkyard.blogspot.com/2008/01/unreleased-dreamcast-motion-controls-by.html Yes folks, even Nintendo is GUILTY of plagiarism and patent infringement. SEGA was forced to renew ALL the rights to Dreamcast back in '07 because of Wii. |

This are facts. Not fanboyism. Like I said, SEGA RARELY files lawsuits. So this means they have a legit motive. And yes, Wii stole ideas and accessories from Dreamcast. Nintendo got away with it because the patents for DC's accessories were inactive during Wii's development. Dreamcast's patents,name,IPs are now STEADFASTLY protected by Kabushiki Kaisha Sega as well as Saturn's. |

They're probably counting Inazuma Eleven 3 Ogre as a separate game. Or maybe they're after Level-5 for one of the mobile Inazuma Eleven games? |

Well I won't give them all the credit for DQVIII, because they don't deserve it. Plus I don't like DQ so this means nothing to me. Rogue Galaxy, like pretty much all thier rpgs is style over any substance. It's a terrible game with great graphics. Really ho-hum and lame story with pretty bad gameplay that goes on far too long. It may have it's fans, but I doubt it has ever been considered a jrpg classic and for good reason. Outside of that they have made the terribly frogetable White Knight Chronicles that did'nt even have decent graphics to make up for how medicore everything else was. Not a notable character in sight and the most boring timing based mmo like combat ever. And Ni No Kuni is hardly anything either. Ounce you look past the great graphics you have something very vapid. Something trying to mimic a ghibli movie, but couldn't if it really tried. And jesus again the gameplay might as well not exsist thanks to how shallow and easy it is. Lets not talk about what they did to Gundam. I'm not the target group of IE, nor do I care about the subject material, so I've never played them. Layton is a puzzle game, so I don't care. As an jrpg developer I find them incredibly overrated and pretty terrible. I would'nt miss them at all.
It's pretty crazy they basically made a Ghibli game and it somehow bombed twice. |

Why were SEGA even granted such a crazy patent? Brb, patenting the letter "E", then suing everyone.

Sega's patents are a mystery. They either are non-discrete, too vague, too convoluted or an unrelated variation of someone else's idea. |

Used to. Long long time ago.... Sega no longer produce the game consoles, only as a game makers now. Suing Level 5 is such a wrong move consider new game makers are doing better than they are. Like everyone else pointed out is as stupid as Apple suing Samsung, and pay back is a bitch. |

First, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on 3DS is delayed. Now, this. Congratulations, Sega, you have officially pissed me off today.

So, instead of killing your dog, they made games everybody liked but you... and Gust made games not for you. I think that sums it all up. |

Umm..No. They aren't just making games. And they are worth $20 billion. |

Sega died eons ago; at least its game console did, But the Sega games never caught up with Play Station when Dream Cast faded out of the market. It's still making money from its grave, and so it decided to sue for more. Patent copyright can last for so long, |
