How's is that even a patent? Tap to pay is already a thing.

On a controller? I think that's what they're trying to patent.

Yeah patents tend to have to be quite specific. I don’t think you could patent the simple concept of tap to pay agnostic of what sort of device is receiving the tap, that’s too general.

Mobile games are very profitable.

I have a few patents and really the more specific you make them the more novel they are. I am sure this is exclusively for tap to pay on a controller vs just tap to pay in general

Tap to pay on a controller?! My card has been saved on file for years… I just click “buy”.

I'd rather just tap to pay and not have my card stored on their servers.

Bold considering Sony got hacked a bunch of times and at least once I had to get a new card
