Yeah doesn't seem like a good tactic to me.

Honestly this whole thing is gonna set precedence and simple game mechanics are gonna get copyrighted in ways that will only make gaming as a whole even worse than it already is.

Your video game has characters collecting in-game coins.

We have a patent for commercial mechanics existing in games, pay us.
