>>56466744we have exactly one example to go off of, and they went after them solely because they were successful... you could say it's because they're infringing, but what are ninty themselves alleging is infringing? only the fact that the game contains monster catching and riding, they are NOT claiming palworld is a knockoff, just that they have the legal privilege to go after any game containing monster riding
now look at their other patents and you can see their strategy is to just own every game mechanic, combine this with aggressive legal bullying and you see they would have the motive, the means, and a pattern of behavior of using it to take down any game franchise they think competes with them
