GameCube exclusive Eternal Darkness is famous for its patented sanity system - but the rights have now expired. So, could anyone copy it? We asked a lawyer.
Tbf, I think Nintendo might have forgotten they even had this one, seeing as they’ve neither used the mechanic nor enforced the patent since filing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good call. They couldn’t have been enforcing. Amnesia had a sanity meter, and it came out in 2010.
