You guys do know that a patent isn’t a promise to implement something.
Remember that Sony patent. Never been used and never will be.
What in the fuck…
Literally the Black mirror episode.
Download your pirated copies now! I can totally see this being implemented in older games via updates.

There’s enough old good games to last me the rest of my life without giving any money to these evil companies
Well, I am glad it is Microslop patenting this. That means it will only ever be used in a handful of games noone evert plays before xbox goes completely belly up.
Let’s make version of Proton to block all that when playing the games on Linux. It’s gonna be hilarious.
