Even Though I Didn't Want To Talk About This Game Again, Well.. This Game's Developers Got Hit With A

even though I didn't want to talk about this game again, well.. this game's developers got hit with a patent lawsuit (I can assure this might be that pokeball-like mechanic within the game, I don't think this involves the blatant creature designs.):

Nintendo Co., Ltd.

News Release : Sep. 19, 2024 "Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc."

Press release of Nintendo Co., Ltd.

this is why you shouldn't get cocky when there'll be that one moment where something will soon or later will hit you right back

don't mess with karma as they say

Gonna say this as someone who has been critical of Game Freak both as a fan and as someone with a Pokémon SPIN for a while now:

Do not support Palworld.

The CEO of Pocket Pair, the game’s studio, openly supports AI and even made a game where making AI-generated art is its main mechanic.

Palworld is not Pocket Pair’s first instance of plagiarism, either. Their previous game, Craftopia, plagiarizes Breath of the Wild, whereas as its upcoming game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, plagiarizes from independent developer Team Cherry’s game, Hollow Knight.

On top of stolen character models and concepts from fakemon artists, it’s already known that you can put Pals through what is basically slave labor BUT what’s been recently discovered is that the game allows you to capture and sell humans. This has been raising some red flags for black gamers looking into these mechanics, me included, considering this factors into the established slave labor system of Palworld.

TL;DR: I completely understand being tired of Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s lack of polish over the years, but supporting something that is just as devoid of polish and even more devoid of ingenuity is not the way to make those criticisms clearer. This will only encourage more soullessness in the industry.

I implore you to support other creature collectors with some real passion behind them; I will reblog this post with recommendations shortly!

lol andromon is just in his reference pose

What a scumbag, it should always, ALWAYS be a top priority to link and credit back the artists who made the fan art. It's not that hard to link and credit back.

I've reblogged this just to spread around the message if it's possible to report them for art theft?
