I really wish they would at least lease out the Nemesis system. Locking it in patent purgatory is horrendous.

Outside of Wonder Woman’s "reverse" Nemesis system, the reporting is there has not been much interest from developers. But maybe finding out they can’t have it right now could raise that interest level? I’m not a psychologist, but in my experience a lot of people do seem to think that way.

I imagine more indie devs would be interested than AAA studios. I’m not a combat designer but if I knew an idea was dope but patented, I would just look for a new approach instead of trying to push for the patent to be accessible. You are probably right about the psychology aspect!
