It isn’t exactly “modern” but I think game devs putting a patent on gaming mechanics is really dumb. I understand why it is done but I still hate it.

Warner Bros has a patent on the nemesis system found in the 'Middle Earth: Shadow of' series. That's probably the most popular example

Namco also patented loading screen games. That patent expired in 2015 though
