With a quick look, it appears that the superformula is already used in applications out there including GNU ones?
Wouldn't Genicap have to explain why they did not go after every single application (free or not) of the superformula out there before getting on Hello Games' case ?(hence why companies often defend their IP even in the case of fan art/ nonprofit use).
This is an idea behind Trademarks, not patents.
Not to call you out specifically, but there's a lot of Jr. detective work going on in this thread in regard to patent law. This is one of those areas where the complexity is great enough that people probably shouldn't be doing "quick googles" to explain how all this works.
