      My understanding is they keep adding features even though they’re supposed to be done because they still play the game constantly themselves and end up wanting more content.

        I know this is probably isn’t true but it’s my head cannon that they’re just really afraid to put out a “state of the game [month]” posts without anything in it

      Re-Logic is just chill overall. Barely any drama and they respect their players. Which I love!

    I don’t care how much of a pirate cheapo game this is, watching Nintendo go ape over practically a knockoff someone could have made as a joke is amusing, especially with their playerbase success.

      It only has a surface level similarity to pokemon. It’s as much like fallout 4 as it is pokemon.

          What were you doing for the majority of those 30 hours? Most likely resource gathering, building your base, optimizing pal usage, etc… Basically the only similarity is that you throw spheres at creatures. There’s no gyms, no turn based gameplay, no trading, no evolution, and not even really trainer battles, just some unique encounters.

      You cannot copyright a vague idea. No matter how much Nintendo might want to.

      The game is basically just magic animals in the world that you can capture and do things with. It’s literally every JRPG ever. It’s just mounts with extra features.

      Nintendo are suing them, but Nintendo sue everyone.

      The Japanese copyright courts are stupid, it doesn’t matter how clearly something isn’t a case, it still goes to trial if one of the parties is big and important enough. They don’t seem to have proper separation of law and government. So political bigwigs can get involved.

      That lawsuit might take years, and the requested damages from Nintendo are only $66,000. Palworld isn’t going to be shut down anytime soon, even if they lose the case.

          There was a request to halt sales until the specific mechanics were removed, with the mechanics being throwing pokeball like items and riding monsters.

                Blizzard of course can’t sue anyone because that would require an original idea to copyright.

              One of the patents was for seamlessly transitioning from one type of ride to another, as it happens in Legends Arceus, ie: jumping into the water while riding the stag will automatically change to the giant piranha. The irony here is that palworld lacks anything like that, you never transition between 2 different mounts without player input. The closest to that is using some pals as gliders, but you’ll just get back on your feet once you touch the ground or water.

              Another patent was for throwing stuff at enemies in order to begin combat. They’re all hard reads, mostly because they read like they’re describing how Legends Arceus works in minute detail.

                Are Nintendo suing reality now? I must admit, it would be very on brand for them.

          I looked through a few articles but couldn’t find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.

          The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their “Pal Spheres” into “Pal Cubes” or prisms, or something similar.

            The Palnoctahedron. “It’s a totally different shape and it’s just the fact that it’s very small, and we enabled smooth shading, that makes it look like we haven’t done anything to it.”

          In Japan.

          With the money they’ve made already, they could move the team to US, where none of this would fly.

            They would still have to face the courts in Japan if they want to sell in Japan.

            Your line of thinking is the same thing that X fell for with Brazil. Just because you don’t have your HQ in a particular country doesn’t mean the legal system can be ignored. Otherwise the EU wouldn’t be gifting fines to Google and Apple every 15 minutes.

      The suit is effectively not about the money at all. It’s about setting a precedent in Japanese court to basically allow Nintendo to patent whatever they want, whenever they want, so they can go after and shut down competitors with ease. Pirate Software has a decent and short breakdown on their youtube channel iirc

      Does that mean they should stop functioning because Nintendo is suing them?
