I don’t play either of these games.

This post made me happy.

That's awesome, I thought they got murdered by Nintendo.

Nintendo are suing them, but Nintendo sue everyone.

The Japanese copyright courts are stupid, it doesn't matter how clearly something isn't a case, it still goes to trial if one of the parties is big and important enough. They don't seem to have proper separation of law and government. So political bigwigs can get involved.

Summoner class going to eat good. Guess I'll do another playthrough of terraria.

"Looks like & are throwing a party!"

THAT WAS UNEXPECTED

Terraria seems so relaxed. They just kind of seem to be coexisting with everyone which i love.

[–] x00z 2 points 6 days ago

Catching pokemon in Terraria?

Count me in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Does that mean the next terraria update will have 2 crossovers?

[–] [email protected] 84 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i love how terraria is the 7th best selling game ever and they are just chill with everyone.

i adore the dedication to fun. they just keep rollin.

[–] chiliedogg 44 points 6 days ago (2 children)

My understanding is they keep adding features even though they're supposed to be done because they still play the game constantly themselves and end up wanting more content.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

its true. the biggest terraria fans are the devs.

[–] chiliedogg 19 points 6 days ago

If you do what you love, you'll be constantly working the rest of your life.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I know this is probably isn't true but it's my head cannon that they're just really afraid to put out a "state of the game [month]" posts without anything in it

[–] colderr 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Re-Logic is just chill overall. Barely any drama and they respect their players. Which I love!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Red making the best Mario fan game is just a weird factoid.

[–] Intergalactic 73 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I beg your exquisite pardon?

I don't care how much of a pirate cheapo game this is, watching Nintendo go ape over practically a knockoff someone could have made as a joke is amusing, especially with their playerbase success.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

You cannot copyright a vague idea. No matter how much Nintendo might want to.

The game is basically just magic animals in the world that you can capture and do things with. It's literally every JRPG ever. It's just mounts with extra features.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It only has a surface level similarity to pokemon. It's as much like fallout 4 as it is pokemon.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

palworld is more like ark anyway

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Idk I literally went around just catching pals and spent 30 hours doing that, seems pretty pokemon to me.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What were you doing for the majority of those 30 hours? Most likely resource gathering, building your base, optimizing pal usage, etc... Basically the only similarity is that you throw spheres at creatures. There's no gyms, no turn based gameplay, no trading, no evolution, and not even really trainer battles, just some unique encounters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You: "bet you had to optimize and synergize and energize..."

Me: "haha, crossbow and pal sphere go brrr."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

As long as you can see it's not pokemon lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The day Pokémon adds crossbows it might be fun again

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Nothing is gonna save it until game freak gets a change in management

[–] ms_lane 40 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's pretty fun, more fun than modern Pokemon, but I'm just a trash gentwo'er.

Just one more update bro

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Aren't they being sued by Nintendo rn? That's some balls from both sides lol.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago (11 children)

That lawsuit might take years, and the requested damages from Nintendo are only $66,000. Palworld isn't going to be shut down anytime soon, even if they lose the case.

The suit is effectively not about the money at all. It’s about setting a precedent in Japanese court to basically allow Nintendo to patent whatever they want, whenever they want, so they can go after and shut down competitors with ease. Pirate Software has a decent and short breakdown on their youtube channel iirc
