Why do they need a patent for this?

Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it.

If they get the patent, even if they don't do it, anyone who does have to pay them.

How would this not conflict with just tv remotes?

Video games and TVs are different enough devices

I think givesomefucks is more explaining than defending the process in their comment.

I'll never understand why trolls make a new account referencing the banned one, makes it easy to block at least
