This is bullshit. Warner Brothers and Nintendo need to lose, hard.
Also, why the hell does Nintendo think they were first when it comes to the concept? Animals and gliding have been a thing for a long time.

Remember they amended the patent after palworld came out
That's lame af. Flying on my dragon dude between my bases was badass.
Palworld did more for the monster-collecting genre in one early access title than Pokémon has in the last decade of AAA titles.
Why does Nintendo deserve these patents when they aren't going to produce anything meaningful with them and simply weaponize them to squash any real threatening competition?
Pokémon is the highest grossing franchise in the world, and 2nd place isn't even close. I think they can give a little ground to an indie developer who makes games that people are actually interested in playing. The patent bullshit is ridiculous.
Because that's how Nintendo works. They are the Disney of gaming.
I don't care about Palworld, but I do hate Nintendo. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
Not how patents work but whatever, Nintendo has more money so they’re in the right
Nintendo are rightly losing their free pass with gamers.
That is very true, but the Venn Diagram overlap between Gamers^TM^ and ‘Nintendo gamers’ is a rapidly shrinking area.
I wonder how much of this game they can force them to change. I know Steam has a 2 hour limit for returns but at what point does this game become “not the game I bought”?

Anytime you can’t access the version of a game you spent money on
I mean, the game is in early access so if you bought it and are now complaining it changed... It's a you problem, not something that should be refundable.
Nah, not complaining, idly wondering. I made my bed, I’ll sleep in it, I’m just wondering how far a game can go to change a game and still claim it’s the same game.
There’s and endless list of games people have complained about changing during early access. It’s a stupid idea. Don’t preorder games.
