Clicker Heroes devs say they’re “getting shaken down by patent trolls” over virtual currency

Playsaurus, the developers behind Clicker Heroes, have been threatened with legal action by a company claiming to hold a patent for the use of “electronic tokens.” GTX Corp say that Clicker Heroes infringes on that patent, and are threatening a lawsuit if Playsaurus do not pay a $35,000 license fee.

Thomas Wolfley, CEO of Playsaurus, says that the organization is “getting shaken down by patent trolls for using ‘virtual currency’ in our game.”
