Pocketpair: "As announced on September 19, 2024, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Plaintiffs") have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us. We have received inquiries from various media outlets regarding the status of the lawsuit, and we would like to report the details and current status of this case as follows."
Palworld recently received its anticipated 0.5.0 update, bringing a huge amount of changes that open up a whole new world for the popular title.
Pocketpair has released the version 0.5.0 update for open-world survival crafting monster-collecting game Palworld, which adds cross-play, a new storage system, a Photo Mode, and more, the developer announced.
Nintendo's lawsuit alleging patent infringement in Palworld was unexpected given the timing and subject matter, and nobody was more surprised than developer Pocketpair, who says "no one even considered" patent issues after the game cleared legal checks in Japan pre-release.
Nintendo should leave the gaming business and just go into law, seems that's all they do, lawsuit sue, blah, blah.
They are forced to change it and instead of balls it’s cubes lol
