Nintendo are the baddies
Yet people keep buying from them
For reference, the allegedly infringing patents are these:
How do these not apply to the majority of games, these sound so insanely broad. Patents are so stupid.
Sony has a patent for an input device having two data streams at once
usb has more i think.
They only apply to games from Japan. This is the Japanese patent system.
Looking through the first one’s content and it seems reasonable? The patent’s abstract is supposed to be as widely applicable as legally permitted, so it’s like a completely different language on top of legalese.
Software parents are such absolute horseshit.
I mean if they help children grow when they have no real parents…
I curse patents
This will end badly and will hurt gaming. Remember when Nintendo made modding games illegal in Japan…
Nintendo sues everyone they can because as an IP holder of some seriously valuable properties, everything else in the gaming industry just looks like free real estate for them to colonize. I can make a game called “Dog Fighters” and I’m sure they’ll find a way to tell me they own that idea.
I’m kinda sure Palworld’s devs are ok with this. Makes them not having to finish the early access game, which their studio has like 4 others to finish anyway.
