EXTENDABLE PARTIES IN VIDEO GAMES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240325930 titled 'EXTENDABLE PARTIES IN VIDEO GAMES
The abstract describes a party system in a gaming environment that allows for parties of sizes beyond the limitations of a video game. This extendable party system can dynamically create subset parties for gameplay without needing to disband the main party. Rules or policies can be applied to the extended party to prevent competitive advantages.

Original Abstract Submitted
a party system of a gaming environment provides to users of the gaming environment parties of sizes that extend beyond the party size limitations of a video game. an extendable party can dynamically create subset parties of users for gameplay as needed, without requiring the party to be ceased. therefore, an extendable party allows a subset of users, or multiples thereof, to enter into gameplay while maintaining the party as a whole. a party system, video game, or gaming environment can be configured to apply one or more rules or policies to a party that limit or alter a feature or function of an extended party, such as to prevent players among extended parties from providing or receiving competitive advantages.
