    In case anyone was wondering, Pocketpair has already announced they’re going to fight Nintendo.

    Unlike a certain other company that folded like a coward in 2 days after a simple C&D letter, took their money and ran.

      Lol this is hilarious. “Coward”. Have you ever looked down the barrel of an enterprise legal team, and seen just the opening bill to defend team? I haven’t, but I’m aware that it is a huge and expensive endeavor and “bravery” has nothing to do with it.

        You mean what Pocketpair is doing right now? They’re both businesses who should have known they would come up against Nintendo at some point.

          The claims are very different. I’m not moving the goalposts here, it’s critical to the situation and was always available information.

    nintendo and friends are out of line. Undisclosed patents being infringed sounds bullshit, and game patents are even more bullshit. tony hawk isn’t the only skating game. cod isn’t the only shooting game. Pokémon and palworld certainly aren’t the only creature capture and exploit for human benefit games.

    Either strike right after release or don’t strike at all. Palworld was already starting to lose steam. Nintendo is doing a Streisand effect.
