So you don’t think these patents are going after any aspect of Palworld that players would recognize as a defining feature of a Pokémon game?

I mean, there's like a mechanic where you throw the spheres, right? And this is a very obvious, in your face system [that’s very much like Pokémon]. But I think that it will be a lot more technical than this. Nintendo would have dug through every single action inside the game, they would have probably reverse engineered it, and just find ways to sue these guys. 

You can bet your life that Nintendo hates this company, and they couldn't find an angle with the character designs. This is why they are not mentioned in their press release. So they come with these technical peculiarities. So I personally believe, if you act like this, you can sue like 90 percent of the game developers in the world. I'm sure there's like thousands of games that have a confirmation screen when you go from sleep mode to resuming the game right, but if you basically trigger the wrath of Nintendo, they will come after you.

Well now I’m hoping that the Switch 2 has a working emulator within a handful of months after release.

Nintendo are trolls and have been doing this for a while whenever the competition scared them, before Palworld they sued White Cat Project to give an upper hand to their own Dragalia Lost, that came years later.

I'm glad Dragalia closed down, fuck Nintendo.

I was a Nintendo fan my entire life. I literally own almost every Nintendo console (no vrboy). Nintendo made the unfortunate decision to not create quality games, but to litigate for profit. I will never go back to Nintendo so long as they still have Gary Bowser's life in their hands. Nintendo has lost life long fans over their action towards competitors, and their inability to make a quality game(say what you want but Pokémon is half assed compared to palworld). I look forward to the eventual bankruptcy filing from Nintendo. I might buy Mario.

Nintendo literally created a patent this year and waited for it to get approved before suing palworld a month after. Clowns over at Nintendo.

If you can't beat them, sue them. 🤔

The Nintendo way. If someone else is making money, make that your money instead

I think people are jumping to the conclusion way too fast. We should wait and see what the actual case is about before making judgements.

Patents are cancer for software, I'll side with Carmack before Nintendo any day.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Nah. Unless these guys literally stole the code, Nintendo can fuck right off.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I think that conclusion is being come to because Nintendo has a really bad history with patent and legal abuse

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Nintendo can specifically go fuck themselves for being such litigious bastards.

No, just specifically Nintendo as they have shown that they are complete assholes
