    What? It isn’t about that at all.

    It is about then filing a patent in 2021 for “aiming and throwing an item to capture a character”. Something that had been done in RPGs for decades. And they bribed enough officials in Japan to get it approved 1 month before palworld came out.

    Then they used the full might of Nintendo legal bribery and lawyers to try to crush indie developers that dare make their “style” of game (which they have been floundering for a decade) better than they do.

    Not to mention that they use threats to shut down completely legal emulation software that they themselves steal and use after refusing to preserve old games themselves.
