The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.
Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.
Im definately contrarian here. I like games but some aspects a hate. I would totally give over to a helper for platforming and all sorts of stuff I hate. Heck I like things like the ff12 gambit system. I love rpgs because I like to setup and build and see how it goes.
