What parallel universe did you come from? Nintendo is like the company known to be a bad guy when it comes to IP lawsuits. They went after a Smash Bros tournament for emulating a game they literally don’t sell anymore for a console they also no longer produce.
Wasn’t talking IP, meant more generally like how orgs like EA and Activision are the go to assholes in gaming, generally. Feel like I don’t hear about Nintendo in the more meaningful (In my opinion) microtransactions, mass layoffs, ridiculous price increases, attempts to kill physical media optionality, etc conversations…
As long as IP is the law we live under, I don’t really mind them enforcing that part. I think it was a bit lazy for palworld to blatantly ripoff Pokemon when they could be creative and make their own character universe. If you’re mad at IP law, go after your reps in government.
I mean, Nintendo isn’t typically the bad guy though, right? And palworld is a pretty clear like 1:1 rip, so…
I mean, good to challenge the “big” guy generally, but wrong target here specifically and weak case, right?
I think this is sarcasm, right? They are literally the bad guy. Nintendo does not hesitate to destroy people’s life if they can. Just one example: https://www.pcgamer.com/gary-bowser-charged-with-paying-nintendo-a-sum-hell-never-be-able-to-afford-talks-about-his-life-after-prison-the-sentence-was-like-a-message-to-other-people/
