      How do these not apply to the majority of games, these sound so insanely broad. Patents are so stupid.

        They only apply to games from Japan. This is the Japanese patent system.

      Looking through the first one’s content and it seems reasonable? The patent’s abstract is supposed to be as widely applicable as legally permitted, so it’s like a completely different language on top of legalese.
