There is one major exception where Warner Bros. holds a highly restrictive patent on the Shadow of Mordor Nemesis system. The mechanic allows non-player characters to remember past encounters with the player, dynamically changes their personalities, and rise (or fall) through enemy ranks. If you never played it, it was a unique mechanic that I've never seen in other games since. The patent prevents other studios from utilizing this system and is set to expire on August 11, 2036.

TL, DR: Fuck Warner Bros for patenting this.

That's Simon Cowell!

I'm an Art Lead for a major game publisher. I've been asked to review AI Tools and investigate how we could integrate them onto our pipeline.

I basically felt the same thing you described. I did my job but it felt completely empty. No sense of accomplishment. It was as if I had a mindless coworker. Finishing the project felt like eating empty calories. I was stuffed but malnourished.

Wait, let me get the world's smallest violin and we'll start over.
