My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
Fuck Nintendo. Vote with your wallets and don't buy a Switch 2, get a Steam Deck or other similar portable gaming handheld.
It's frustrating how often people need to be reminded of this. Nintendo has repeatedly shown incredible hostility to their greatest fans over the years, and they show no signs of stopping.
They've also done immeasurable harm to game preservation, to their own library and others. I cannot ever forgive them for this. Unless you play games in whatever specific way is blessed at the time, they will make every effort to sabotage it. Please do not enable this behavior.
Well said, I agree 100%
I really want to grab one of the new handhelds, seem so nice, I feel guilty almost playing games on my pc, when I could be using it for other stuff, playing on consoles fine so it might be time to transition to a linux handheld for the ocassional pc games.
(Like it could be rendering for my other hobby with 3d, instead of the gpu going to games)
Palworld wouldn't have been half as popular without Nintendo's constant push to take it down.
It's the literal reason I bought it and have never even played
Nintendo is quite literally patent trolling
Why "quite literally"? Did they hire an actual troll for a lawyer?
Patent troll means to get patents for purpose of litigation rather than to produce goods.
Yes
Like a bridge one
Good god they're such fucking losers.
Are you trying to make everyone hate you, Nintendo? Give it up already.
Palworld does what Nintendon't
First half of my life it was completely by accident I didn't own anything nintendo, but I'm glad the second half of my life I've actively avoided it, so not a single cent has gone to those greedy motherfuckers.
I owned all sorts of Nintendo products growing up. Around 2005, Nintendo went crazy against roms and hacking, and then when I stopped buying Nintendo products.
I bought some used stuff and... Bypassed security to expand my libraries. But usually it was after the game was like 10 years old.
I wonder if PocketPair (Palworld devs) could flip a giant middle finger to Japan's entire system by refunding all Japanese customers for the game and refusing to sell it in Japan anymore. Japan is the only country where Nintendo could get their way in a patent lawsuit, so fuck 'em
Wouldn't work. This has nothing to do with Japanese customers or Japanese laws. These aren't even in Japanese courts. It's US patents.
The only enforceable patents they have are Japanese. This is an attempt to get US ones.
Nintendo's patents, or the single one i should say, wouldn't hold up or even apply to palworld in America, they will in Japan.
Nintendo, a Japanese company in Kyoto, using American courts to stop Pocketpair, a Japanese indie studio in Tokyo, from selling Pal world.
What the hell.
One of the many reasons I will never spend money on Nintendo again! Their hardware blows anyways
What about the last one?
Scumtendo strikes again
Can someone explain the cultural difference between Japan and the rest of the US around copyright law?
In the US, we have fair use laws. They basically don't. You can put McDonald's in your game because you're parodying it, or because it's part of the real world your work is based in.... They can't without expressed permission
It's more nuanced than that, but that's it in a nutshell
