They are going to need a lot more money before #nintendo destroys them

Taken down considering what?

Being derivative is not necessarily an actionable offense.

The Nintendo and TPC legal teams have been watching Palworld since it was announced. If there was anything actionable, they would have acted already.

Just look at the Pokemon mod for Palworld that was already taken down, less than 8 hours after being announced.

That Link's Awakening HD fan game lasted for, like, a week, and that was barely anything beyond a direct copy. Could be there's nothing for the lawyers to litigate, or it could be they're building a broader case based on a cohesive body of evidence.

All that to say, don't mistake inaction for inability to act.

Not only that, but it is not like any of the Pokemon games. Some of the character models are certainly uncanny, and other than pal spheres instead of pokeballs, the two games aren't even similar.
