>>55310045The reality of what happened is the fag was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Palworld is the current hotness in the public perception, and it's already got a lot of Pokemon-related shitflinging as is. So to create a Pokemon Mod, which could add further shitflinging and cause normalfags to confuse Palworld with an official product, would require NoA and/or TPCi Lawyers to go into action in order to prevent said confusion from blowing up.
If he just waited awhile until no one cared about Palworld anymore and its playerbase plummeted to quadruple or lower-end quintuple digits, and ESPECIALLY made sure not to bring attention to his shit until it was already finished and unleashed onto the internet, he could've made and released his mod no problem.
But that assumes there was an actual genuine intent behind this mod and not another soulless trend hopper trying to capitalize on a volatile social boom for quick profit, which, based on the situation, is exactly the case.
