>>56879725>Patent trolling is dangerousYeah, but this isn't a case of patent trolling. Part of what makes a patent troll is the frequency of patent lawsuits, the last one Nintendo was in is nearing 10 years now and they've only done it about twice before now? Something like that.
Clearly not trolling by any stretch of the imagination.
>There's some unspoken rules about it among the big players. Not really, like another anon said Koei and Capcom were in one not too long ago with Capcom winning. This is a much smaller and obvious dispute that no one should care about but do because it's nintendo, that's it.
It's not about Palworld being popular or being a small indie company, people just want to see Nintendo fail because they don't tend to kowtow to the masses as you can see with journalists.
>Nintendo couldn't read the room and broke themThey read the room correctly, prior to palworld a lot of devs and players had a massive issue with them just shamelessly copying from others and even the CEO admitting to that not to mention many people were shafted because they would just release early access games and never finish them. Just look at craftopia, it's been out for four years and it's still in early access, then you have their new game which is just Little Witch Nobeta X Hollow Knight. It's shameless.
In other words, Nintendo, being the first major company they copied, took the opportunity everyone was waiting for, the only people mad about this are people who legitimately know nothing about pocketpair.
>so now there's going to be problems.If Nintendo wins, absolutely nothing will happen.
If they lose then every dev in the industry will know where the line is on patent infringement and will follow pocketpair's lead of just churning out lazy copies of popular titles
