This needs to be killed as we have prior art (Emulators, Braid, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, heaps of racing games, etc).

If their only significant addition is "we a have a button for it" then we need to ask if a button qualifies as "inventive" in 2024?

Edit:

All patents need to be killed. They only benefit the rich and powerful.
