Nintendo sued then for having a mechanic of being able to grow to capture and ride mounts without extra steps. Revised payments in the middle of the law suit too iirc. permalink fedilink source parent [–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) Ok. Palworld (a pocket monster style game like Digimon or Pokemon) released in 2024. Some people claimed it stole assets from Pokemon (or heavily plagiarized them). This has since been debunked but continues to be a bone of contention for some. Nintendo decided to sue for patent infringement based on game mechanics (not monster design), and apply for new patents on game mechanics like mounts/creature riding mechanics, and the ability to catch creatures to enable the lawsuit against the developer of Palworld, Pocketpair. This lawsuit has been ongoing for a couple of years now and in that time, Pocketpair have made changes to Palworld to further differentiate their game's mechanics from Pokemon games in order to mitigate the damages from the lawsuit.

It's ridiculous to expect others to explain what a high profile game is, that's what a search engine is for. It takes literally 5 second or less to Google it and look at screenshots to understand what's the point here. This isn't contributing anything. If your "active" conversation is nothing more than asking about widely available facts, it's nothing but noise and might as well not be there. permalink fedilink source parent [–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) You can't just block and move on?
