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.
Good god! Interacting with other people!? Ew!
I don’t like people but I like them more than I like AI.
I also grew up in the 80’s when you’d ask an older sibling to beat the boss for you.
