Alright Palworld...gonna update your game again?
They should, the throw summon mechanic made the game more fun.
Was there really that much difference? I've only played the non-throw version, I think.
Yes, it really forced you to get close to the pals/npcs before starting your attacks. Before you could game it a bit and lob them from longer range to kite them a bit. It helped when you had level mismatches and was generally more fun imo.
IIRC the more problematic legal challenges are in Japan, whose patent laws are insane.
