I don't agree with the patent because it is a simple game mechanic that could be utilized (and have been, before this patent) by a number of good games in the future. This means that some games may suffer in quality or be banned from the market for utilizing this particular game mechanic, which is retarded.
There were a number of pen & paper games which included sanity systems in various forms. Most White Wolf games included some sort of bloodlust/rage/sanity restraint system without which would have broken the gameplay.
Can anyone think of any others?
