Patents if too broad can be thrown out, if Palword's mechanic is different enough they could win, or if the patent was made after Palword then it can be thrown out.

So people here forget that Microsoft has invested in PocketPair and Palworld and as a result this woll most likely turn into Nintendo VS Microsoft/Xbox and if that happens Nintendo will be forced to back down by just as zealous AMERICAN Lawyers. So really its a matter of how much is Microsoft willing to get involved and how long PocketPair can hold out in court. The reason that the Lawsuit was filled in the Tokyo Cour5 and not International Court is because both companies (Nintendo and PocketPair) are Japenese and the fact that an International court would almost certainly side with Pocketpair But if Nintendo wins this will cause a chain reaction of lawsuits that could see tons of indie developers who make games like fps or rts struck down by Activision or Sony or any other AAA company.

I predict it's the stat where you absorb your enemies' health on kill (kunai)

i dont think nintendo gonna win this if they do all monster colecting games are in danger

And they said Nintendo didn't own Pokémon...

The only patent that could come to mind is one about pokeballs and how they work? And Nintendo does have a patent for that... That they created MONTHS after Palworld came out. If there are other patents that Nintendo is referring to, then sure, they'll probably win; but if it's the pokeball patent, they are losing this lawsuit, Nintendo might have cooked themselves to a crisp here lmao EDIT: For those of you curious, I don't know the exact patents, but this information comes from Thor aka PirateSoftware, which is a gamedev themselves; so I trust their knowledge base on this topic

I'm on Pocketpair's side with this one. I hope they win. Otherwise Nintendo is using the scummy strategy in tying up money in legal fees.

Pocketpair is getting what they deserve.

I dont know if PalWorld deserves it, but it sure does look like a souless piece of shit. Those character designs are so unoriginal, I cant play a game so creatively bankrupt. In the end, I still hope it survives this.

If sappers are a necessary evil, but are simply too boring and simple… what if we got more sappers added? Make them fundamentally different in how they’re used?

Nintendo are always the big guy just sniping for lawsuit at every opportunity they can and i hate nintendo because of that nintendo is the anti-freedom of screech they will try to arrest you has soon they see something close related to them while Sega is the total opposite if you want to do a fan game about sonic pfff go on make what you want we will not take action against you they even make a fan game official that how community friendly Sega is !!!

well according to my calculations the amount of damages in usd that pal world (aka what pal world should have to pay in a fully just system) has caused Nintendo is between 0 and -25,000 dollars. In the worst case scenario pal world has not effected Nintendo earnings at all because I doubt that people are buying pal world INSTEAD of any pokemon games. in the best case pal world has caused Nintendo earnings to go up because not many people where talking about Pokémon that much until pal world came out. I would not be surprised of pal world remained people the fun they had in Pokémon games and ended up revisiting some of their games. but hey thats just a theory A FINANCE THEORY.

honestly i dont even like the spy i play more demo and pyro but.. nah the sappers are ok considering that pybros and the homewrecker exist the only thing that maaaaaaaybe i can agree is that the sapper having no cooldown sometimes can be a pain on the backery but for most of the time due to the team's inexperience in trying to kill the spy or protect the sentry nest. also if the engie is using the jag or the eureka effect even if you manage sap and destroy the sentry he can just build another one more faster especially if theres more than one engie, or if he is using the frontier most of the time they end up kill the the spy the most use i get for the sapper is when the engie use the wrangler when my team is trying to push since that fraction of a second in which the sentry is disabled can really help the team a lot. but also any good spy will try to at least kill the engineer first since, although it takes time to rebuild a sentry, it is faster than the time it takes for the engineer to respawn, return to where the nest was, and that is if he does not die again on the way. that's why sometimes it's better to try to sap and stab the engineer than just spam the sapper ¨oh no you sap and destroy my stuff what i gonna do now?, build another one¨ besides spy is a SOFT counter for the engineer, the HARD counters are the demoman and Soldier(sometimes the sniper if the building is on a spot easy to sniper) if the engie decide to counter both classes by using the short circuit guess what item helps a lot the both for taking down the sentry the sappers
