MODERATORS
Who cares at this point? Palworld was the definition flash in the pan. It was fun don't get me wrong, but I am not clamoring to go back any time soon.
It's a big deal because this is a patent lawsuit, not a copyright infringement suit. Nintendo isn't accusing Palworld of breaching Pokémon aesthetically or whatever. They are accusing Palworld of breaching their patent of a gameplay mechanic.
The gameplay mechanic of... Turn based RPGs?
No, from what I'm told its very specifically about a system of item loss upon death / other players can find them / if they do you get them back that Legend of Arceus implemented and which Palworld also uses. Creating the ability to patent troll mechanics that specific would be a bad precedent.
Pokemon coming for minecraft next???
