Need For Speed: Underground 2 (2004) has the arrow. Portal 2 (2011 IIRC?) has ping. Did Sega and EA, respectively, actually get cuts for that or..?

In the article it states that:

While EA owns the patent, they’ve generously allowed other games to implement similar mechanics—so far.

It’s a rare case where a patent actually benefits the industry, ensuring that intuitive communication remains available to all developers rather than being locked away.

How does Portal 2 have ping? Isn't this a multiplayer mechanism?

Portal 2 has a whole coop campaign.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
