I'd be awfully cautious about this. Business systems are now patentable
(Priceline.com, for instance, has applied for about 20 patents for its
reverse-auction procedures, and gotten at least 2 that I know of), and I
see no reason why the same logic couldn't be applied in the future to a
game system.
