mhague, do games w Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit

I wonder what their plan was – step on the toes of the biggest franchise while operating in one of the many countries with broken copyright laws and then hope for the best while raking in early access money based on an idea that legally can’t exist? Was it being naive and hoping they could just make a fun and successful game and Pokemon would be a merciful god?

shneancy,

Nintendo shouldn’t be trying to own mechanics. if someone took their core idea and made it so good people who are Pokemon fans are buying it en masse then maybe they should take a hint and make a game that people want. but instead they’re out there suing devs for “stealing” their idea of holding onto the feet of creatures with wings to glide? they’re clearly unable to take down the game and decided to blindly keep stabbing away at random things trying to bankrupt them with trivial lawsuits. it’s pathetic

mhague,

Does your comment make sense as a response to my comment?

I’m confused why the devs stuck their head in the jaws of a sue happy monster. I ask, “But what was the point? What did they plan to happen?”

And you tell me Nintendo shouldn’t own mechanics? Like… I know that. I am so used to people misunderstanding me, that I specifically go back and add a huge banner saying “I agree with you.” I can call Nintendo assholes, call copyright broken, paint the devs as good but naive, and I still get “listen here, Nintendo is bad. Copyright is broken.”

ysjet,

You’re getting down votes from astroturfers, idiots, and kids who can’t handle attacks on their precious favoritist little game, but you’re right, palworld has zero leg to stand on here and they’re lucky their company even still exists with the sheer scale of blatant theft going on. But DAE Nintendo bad hurr hurr?

stephen01king,

Can you list out this sheer scale of theft that Nintendo is suing Pocketpair for.

ysjet,
stephen01king,

Ah, so you can’t? The scale of the theft is so big that you can’t even list them out, is it?

ysjet,

Just keep moving those goalposts, kiddo.

stephen01king,

Please explain what goalpost did I move?

So, Nintendo can file patents after years of not filing them just to fuck with an Indie company after that company put out a product with game mechanics that “infringe said patents”, but not to go after other large gaming companies like Microsoft that also infringe those same patents. Interesting take.

mhague,

What the hell is wrong with you? Did I say Nintendo ought to be allowed to drive drunk? Or did I express confusion at why someone stepped in front of the speeding drunk? I’m fucking tired of “oh you defended him? What do you love him?” bullshit.

Sorry I didn’t just shake my magic 8 ball and generate a pithy comment like you (probably) did. Here, I’ll shake my ball and write what comes up.

Nintendo is fucking scum. I want a competitor to Pokemon. Copyright laws are broken. Lawyers! LAWYERS!!

atrielienz, (edited )

Either you haven’t read into what Nintendo is doing and kept up with what’s been going on in the court case, (and perhaps meant to put a /s at the end of your first comment), or you’re blaming Palworld for something Nintendo did because they are big mad that anyone would dare make a game even remotely similar to theirs. I don’t care if you’re defending Nintendo or not.

NINTENDO LITERALLY APPLIED FOR PATENTS FOR GAME MECHANICS used in Palworld after the game was already released to the public. They invented a reason to sue. They directly manufactured it. Your inability to communicate your thoughts on the matter is not my problem. Maybe stop raving for a minute and compose a reply that actually makes sense.

rdri,

Getting popular to that point was not in their plans. You can’t judge their success.

And yes it can legally exist. See other creature collector games (that are just not that popular yet).

Haven’t had the urge to buy a Nintendo game since the GameCube. Sure, the Wii was fun at parties back in the day but that’s about it. I’ve tried the new Mario and Zelda games but they always look and feel like low effort garbage meant to snare the same crowd as “Disney adults”.

caseofthematts,

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I honestly can’t fathom calling Mario or Zelda games low effort on the developers part. It seems like a lot of time and care go into them, for the most part.

I bought the one they released for the Wii U and it only worked for Smash

excral,

That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

Call of duty zombies lead isn’t the badge of honour they think it is. That got ran into the fucking dirt with the least amount of creativity and game dev talent I’ve ever seen.

You could give him a blank check, unlimited time and he would still produce a shit game

    Same. I find myself increasingly alienated by so called AAA games and turned to more indie games. I don’t need high graphics nor 60fps, just give me good game play.

    Vampire Survivor and Balatro are only two of the more successful examples. I bought dozens of other indie titles that have little to no media coverage.

    I do play one GaaS (from Mihoyo) casually though and it sort of fill my need when I want something to chase.

    Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky. And Disney+ but I’m assuming they mean game play time.

    Nothing released this year will even come close to touching the Warframe 1999 soundtrack. Absolute bangers from start to finish, and in particular Party of Your Lifetime is the most addictive bop you will have heard all year.

    Warframe invented a fictional nineties boyband, and accidentally made them unbelievably awesome.

    My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.
