Rooting for Nintendo on this one. Palworld was dumb, you can’t just steal others’ IP without consequences. They could have made things just different enough… But they didn’t, they were dumb.
it's not a copyright/dmca claim, they are claiming they are violating a patent of some kind, so it's not visuals or names, I'm curious if it will be a ball object that captures them, cause like if so that's so broad that it shouldn't be able to be patented
It's weird to root for a multi billion dollar corporation, especially Nintendo, even if you think Palworld is in the wrong.
I can agree that IP theft can be dumb in some cases, and Palworld is cutting it pretty close there. Nintendo sues everyone, though, even for the pettiest of reasons, and this kind of behavior shouldn't be encouraged.
Palworld isn't actually putting a dent in Nintendo's bottom line. Nintendo is just litigious against everybody, including their own fans, so of course they are going to sue a competitor.
What exactly did Palworld steal? Surely you have sources for your claims
Sure except they aren't being sued for IP infringement. They're getting sued for Patent infrigement.
