The nemesis system wasn’t unique when it came out, plenty of games have similar mechanics, obviously there is a distinct mechanic about Shadows of Mordor that other can’t copy with the patent, but it hasn’t affected nemesis systems in other games.

They don’t pay, because there’s usually another way to make a very similar system that doesn’t infringe.

What's another game with a nemesis system?

Off the top of my head, Assassin's creed, diablo and Far Cry 5 are recent ones.

Depends on which specific mechanic you’re talking about, lots of games have enemies that die and come back stronger.
