Yeah the lawsuit was dumb. Nintendo doesn't own the concept of creature capture. You can't own concepts as far as I know
You can't copyright a concept, but you can patent one. The lawsuit was over patents, not copyrights. They even tried to retroactively apply for more patents to strengthen their case before the lawsuit was over, but they were refused. At least in Japan.
If they released PC ports of Nintendo games I would play a lot of them.
Imagine the sales they'd get if they ported older Game Boy/DS/3DS games to Android/ios phones and tablets.
Right? Emulators are pretty popular. Piracy is a service problem.

Not for nothing, but I'm sincerely surprised CS2 still has so many players.
I stopped playing twenty years ago, because the kids were kicking my ass.
I'm out of the loop, could someone explain?
Palworld is basically live action pokemon with guns and crafting/survival mechanics, and just launched 1.0 a couple of days ago. Nintendo sued Palworld's dev's over IP infringement during early access for the capture mechanism used in the game (throwing spheres at pals). Here's a quick summary of the lawsuit and where it stood about a month ago. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/palworld-lawsuit-nears-end-with-nintendo-reportedly-poised-to-gain-almost-nothing/
The intent of this post is to show that Nintendo's policy of not releasing 1st party games on other consoles/PC has hurt them in the long run, as shown by the player count of Palworld right now.
Wasn't IP infringement, but patent. That was one of the big things pointed out when this all started, if there had been any IP theft they would have led with that.
Don't patents expire after 20 years?
And isn't Pokemon's ball-capturing game mechanic well over 20 years old? I seem to remember it existing prior to 2006.

The game is just fun. Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do
