Software patents and the patent system as a whole is so damn broken. Patent for summoning a character by throwing something, patent for riding a flyable character ffs… Dumbest bullshit that just keeps big player entrenched.
Ha, fuck you Nintendo, love you though.
I’m going to start by saying all these sites just take their info from Games Fray and Florian Muller has a strong Anti-Nintendo bias. You can feel it in the way he’s written his article.
So maybe Nintendo never got Palworld blocked or stopped selling (which is a good thing), but they still got them to change in game mechanics so that they were no longer infringing on their own. That… kinda seems like a win for them? Patent lawsuits are a huge gamble, and in the US they’ve seen one of their patents related to this case invalidated, although they can appeal that. If that’s the worst thing they get out of starting this then they may not be happy but they also avoid embarrassment. The financial aspect was always going to be chump change anyway.
I just hope that spells the end of it. I’ll admit, I’m a Nintendo fanboy but they should never have started this lawsuit. It gave Palworld more attention and kept it relevant longer while also doing more damage to their reputation in the west.
And the misinformation! Oh my god I have taken so much psychic damage these past couple of years from how wrong everyone has been about the Palworld/Pokemon spat. From that damn Dragon Quest picture to the never ending accusations that Nintendo were trying to patent all summoning mechanics, it’s been a big year for clickbait enjoyers.
Video game patents are so braindead and prevent innovation within the industry as a whole. Remember those LOTR games Shadow of Mordor/War? The nemesis system is patented so no other developer can even try and do something in the same vein. Incredible, really. Especially since they haven’t used the fucking system in years.
Patents should be illegal within the gaming industry.
I think character designs and story elements are largely fair game for copyright, as long as it’s not like generic dragon or something like that. Game mechanics should not be copyrightable
Fuck Nintendo, I’m glad the developers are standing up to this fucking bully
Fuck Nintendo
Dude fuck Nintendo they didn’t invent small cute animals that can be captured and they didn’t invent throwing balls at them their biggest argument was throwing it 3 times or shaking it.
Nintendo and Disney are notorious for being cut throat legally the joke is they really are both law firms that sell entertainment.
It’s funny that the Nemesis system is being brought up so much in this post
Tbh I quit playing Palworld because they took out throwable summons and ridable mounts. I understand that they did it so they could keep developing the game without worrying about Nintendo’s injunction, but that was a big part of the game to me personally. I hope they add it back at some point
Nintendo has no basis to copyright game mechanics.
Simple, solved, done. Nintendo, take the L, and stop overpricing/restricting customers.
They changed their filling for the lawsuit back in November. Seems convenient this is getting reported on weeks before Palworld’s 1.0 release.
What’s with the weird clickbait bs title op? All the articles say the same thing: Nintendo had their concerns addressed and palworld changed things which pleased the big N.
Why go through with the lawsuit further?
Someone needs to file a patent for filing a patent. And then sue and get all the patents.
I hope after the lawsuit is over they add back throwing pal spheres and gliding pals.
I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, Nintendo’s strategy of going after the mechanics is a bum fucking move and I’m thrilled it’s being slapped down in court. On the other though, how could anyone look at Palworld and not think „wow a lot of this is a shameless ripoff of Pokemon.“ I mean yeah, there aren’t 1:1 copies, but come on dude. Those are pokemon in the game. You catch them with pokeballs. There’s gotta be a proper way to define the difference between an homage and a temu copy.
Doesn’t make me wanna give any of my money to Nintendo. Disgusting how their law fare practices work. Along with their ridiculous prices for consoles and games.
Bruh fuck Nintendo
Nintendo died with Mr. Iwata.
You what I would love to play on Switch 2? Palworld…
I don’t tend to buy third party games on Nintendo consoles but that’s one I would buy.
I heard Nintendo is also taking side with Bricks and Minifigs
Wasn’t this lawsuit just made up by the 3 fans of palworld?
The weird thing for me with Nintendo vs Palworld is if they went after the designs and not game mechanics I think a lot more people would be on their side because let’s all be real so many of the designs are blatant rip offs of actual pokemon
