    Okay what the hell did I just read?

    From my very very rough and cursory glance though: wouldn’t this also likely be infringed by games such as Genshin Impact for their Auto “fuse” (aka enhancement) selection mechanic or does this patent have some more nuanced/specific thing which everyone else did not implement to skirt around it?

      After attempting to read through it, seems like a menu to fuse or combine game objects which contain some form of sorting system as dictated by the player… So I’m going to assume they mean their phantasy star online 2 weapon item fusion system.

      It’s such a rough definition that this can only be classified as a patent troll case. Not that they care about hiding that fact.
