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.
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.
I think that conclusion is being come to because Nintendo has a really bad history with patent and legal abuse
Nah. Unless these guys literally stole the code, Nintendo can fuck right off.
Patents are cancer for software, I’ll side with Carmack before Nintendo any day.
Nah, fuck bitchtendo.
ya man fuck them!!! Like who gives a fuck what’s happening we just want to fuck everyone when there’s a chance
Nintendo can specifically go fuck themselves for being such litigious bastards.
No, just specifically Nintendo as they have shown that they are complete assholes
