There are actually a lot of patents in the video games industry. Idk how often they are actually enforced but two examples I know are that EA had a patent on loading screen mini games and I believe Monolith has a patent on the nemesis system they made for Shadow of Morder and Shadow of War. So there's a chance they stumbled into some patent Nintendo has and they're using that as a way to get rid of Palworld since they decided going for copyright infringement wasn't gonna work.

If only they would use the god dam nemesis system in other games! It is too cool to just die with those 2 games.

Some do. In Warframe you can get a specific type of enemy tailored to the player, who then steals your loot and mocks you.
