Nintendo has officially patented Insanity!
 

Nintendo scored a patent Tuesday for a Sanity system for video game, which covers causing a game character to hallucinate - e.g., see bleeding walls and hear maniacal laughter - as its sanity decreases in response to encountering a creature or gruesome situation.

So...... does this mean no other game can now make their character start loosing sanity and hallicunating? Wouldent this destroy the survival-horror genre?
