Why don't more games have minigames during loading screens?

Some company owns the concept.

Becuase its work to implement, and people dont like work

I thought running around in the assassians creed loading screens was fun

>>376834783
well maybe that company will lend us theirs
if we persuade them

Namco has the patent for it, preventing others from implementing it.

How can you even patent something like that?

Because you'd have to load the minigame.

>>376835170
Because patent law is retarded.

The patent was specifically for minigames during loading screens. Splatoon had it during matchmaking.
I have no idea why the patent was that specific, or why I know this, but there you go.

>>376835042
didnt the atari v. phillips verdict establish that you couldn't own such broad concepts like that?

Squid Jump is the best

They were among the first to do it with Ridge Racer having Galaxian playable when it first loads up and had the hindsight to patent it before others got the same idea.

Japanese patents and courts are fucking retarded.
Remember that's where a court ruled that Capcom invented expansion packs.
