There is NO CODE being patented here. It is CONCEPTS!
The concept of "fighting more than 100 enemies at once". The concept of "riding an animal that was captured in combat by the player". The concept of "capturing an animal within a thrown containment device".
THESE are what are being patented. Not a pile of code, not a code equivalency, just vague concepts, which are then used to atrophy and stymie creativity in the rest of the industry. I'm sorry, your game has too many bad guys, it's court time for you!

I don't think that's true. That would be a copyright as far as it sounds to me.
