I am disappointed by all the angry gamers in this thread, acting like Nintendo is wrong for defending their intellectual property.
Consider the following:
>1st - Nintendo has a right to defend itself, and if japanese courts rule in favor of Nintendo, it is because they had a legal right over all these game mechanics that were stolen. There are people PAID to decide patent law, and they are deciding in favor of Nintendo. Who gets to decide right and wrong is not your feelings, it is the japanese court. And the court favours Nintendo
>2nd - Nintendo (namely, Gamefreak and TPC) is the victim in this whole ordeal, it is not Palworld's ideas (if there were any) being stolen. You are blaming the victim
>3rd - Palworld is accused of infringing 35+ patent violations, not a couple. They were acting on bad faith
You are literally blaming the victim. Palworld they straight up marketed their game as a ripoff of Pokémon and Breath of the Wild. Then they tried to sign in with Sony for a merch sale deal. Maybe they were even going for an anime or a TCG, depending on the success of that. They had to be put down.
These devs are not even 30 yo. They are kids facing a courtroom battle that they can't win. Nintendo can retroactively add and change text to existing patents to make defense impossible. They've done that already.
You want the monster catching genre to evolve? Then do it the right way, paying due royalties for mechanics stolen. Don't just steal Nintendo's homework and put it up on Steam like you created it.
