>>56476993>>56477008There is also an element of strategy to all of this. The copyright infringement claim document is actually very large. But they push it strategically, before Palworks can be bought by Sony or Bandai Namco. It is strange that no company ever approached publicly with interest in buying Palworks (take Minecraft as an example, where the developer was being groomed and tempted by big companies from day 1, from Lego to Microsoft). There were probably handshake agreements that they'd just let these kids be devoured as an example.
>whah, if PalWorks stole from Nintendo, that means SquareEnix stole from D&D and Dragon Quest to make Final FantasyLarge companies are generally in cahoots. If not, Ubisoft would have taken down Nintendo over Breath of the Wild. There is the famous mutually assured destruction, where they just do some gentleman theft of each others' patents and agree to patent every single thing because they have the money and lawyers for it.
The problem that makes it all worse is that what we know is actually the tip of the iceberg. PalWorks was selling merchandise of the Nu-Pokémon. Nintendo just let it happen, then struck.
This is the single most saddistic, evil, petty and coward copyright and patent infringement I've ever seen. This is not for money, dudes, the TPC alone is super rich still. They want blood and they'll have it.
