Games Fray’s report claims Nintendo now has “zero chance” of prevailing against current Palworld versions under the revised scope, arguing that any injunction would apply only to older builds. The outlet also said the maximum damages at stake would be 5 million yen, roughly $30,000, if Nintendo succeeds on the remaining claims.

Oh what a return for the widespread disgust. No such thing as bad PR right guys? lol

No such thing as bad pr when your company has millions of brainwashed fans who have literally never played any other games.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago

have you see then gatekeep the current slop of games.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 12 points 4 months ago

Not really. Sometimes the process is the punishment.

No other game studio/publisher would want to lose a hefty sum in lawyer fees

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 88 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What are they gonna do? Hack into my PC and send a lawyer to my house demanding I remove the version that has round balls? Kiss my ass Nintendo!

Magic The Gathering is known for it's 5 color card system. Red, Blue, Black, White and Green.

But the most dangerous color is Pink.

Tell me about pink kryptonite

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Well, it IS June...

I don't know how it would work with the lore, but it would be absolutely hilarious if they added Pink. XD

[–] Killer@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Its the only way to easily play much of their older catalogue anyway

Even the older versions were vastly different, and Nintendo's patents are both exceptionally vague and infringe on older works. Hopefully this keeps reducing until it collapses entirely. Any win for Nintendo, even minor, will give precedence for future lawsuits.

They never hoped to win, they just wanted to drain Pocketpair's money with lawyer expenses

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

instead making pokemon slop games, including the card game. try to improve it instead. get rid of masuda, and deal with scalpers for the card area.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

And fuck off that pikachu guy as well.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How about they everyone just focus on making shit instead of worrying about who owns the gameplay from a toy that's old enough to have a quarter life crisis now.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Heh, good one. Just think about it for a second - what would then Nintendo do with their whole office building full of lawyers?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Give them jobs as playtesters
