Nintendo got the big money for those lawyers
I blame lawmakers, corporations are gonna do what they do and sue everyone for everything. The courts have taken the sides of corporations over people and it’s clear. We can’t change how capitalist corporations work but we can start making noise to lawmakers about changing laws to favour smaller devs
Pokemon Red got me through a year of boring ass 9th grade early morning study hall on my Gameboy Pocket.
With that being said, it’s hilarious to me that someone else took the “pocket monster” formula and built it into something bigger and better than Game Freak or Nintendo could ever develop.
Nintendo is clearly upset about Palworld, but fuck 'em. They had over two and a half decades to improve the formula and now the best thing they can do is half-assed, low effort cash grabs; Gameplay with the depth of a teaspoon and the visuals of a smeared turd.
Try harder, Nintendo.
The fact that there are still hardcore pokemon fans out there who buy every one of their games like it’s a masterpiece is crazy. They aren’t even just bad, you have to put effort into making them look that shit, and the gameplay is basically still the same as i played on the original Gameboy when i was 12
I haven’t played them in ages, but from what I’ve seen of them they’re worse than we had back then. At least they tried to present some challenge. I think that’s mostly gone now, like it is for most mainstream gaming.
i wonder tho, why are they going after palworld specifically? cause palworld is faaaar from being the first pokemon-inspired game, and id argue it’s not even the best one
and it can’t just be the plagiarized design allegations (which, tbf, some pals are really on the limit, not that it’s a bad thing), because if it was they’d just use their existing copyright instead of filing tons of new patents
Because it became wildly successful. Success brings notice.
Pokemon is the biggest media franchise on planet earth. To call that dumbass palworld AI SLOP “bigger and better than GF or Nintendo could ever develop” is MAGA-level batshit insane. Nintendo is ROLLING in money rn, they don’t need to try harder for shit. They’re doing phenomenally.
The bitching about Nintendo is wild, like yalls don’t quit. Give eternal passes to Sony and Microsoft, but the pikachu/Mario guys are the villains…??? Give me a fucking break.

Found the Nintendo fanboy. How do them boots taste?

Obvious red herring. People yell about the bullshit Sony and Microsoft pull all the time. Have you ever considered that all 3 are shit?
More profitable is not the same thing as better. For example, Marvel movies are pretty shit, but they make a ton of money. Palworld is better than Pokémon, for many reasons. One major one is that it actually tried to innovate on something. That’s more than Game Freak has done in decades despite having an infinite money glitch.
Now only someone has to dare to stand up to Nintendos lawyers. Not an easy feat.
Nintendo’s patent lawyers should be reported to the bar association over this. These most recent patents are atrociously bad and could probably get the lawyers sanctioned
And the patent office too.
There really should be more oversight with the patent process.
Eh, we shouldn’t rely on the system to fix the system.
The only way to fight back is to fight back, either civilly or uncivilly.
Also, this is why games cost what they cost. So the useful idiots spending money can have their money used against them.
You want to start a violent revolution over Nintendo filing bogus patent claims?
You’re a special kind of ignorant if you think that’s the only reason.
