I mean, gaming patents are horse shit from stage one. There's 0 reason you should be able to patent a method or mechanic in a creative medium other than creepy corporate BS

Honestly, though - "method or mechanic", do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

There's monster collecting and battling, something numerous other games have done.

That's where the similarities really end
