    But that’s not what’s going on here? Nintendo is suing a mod creator who modded their actual IP into the game, and furthermore locked that mod through a paywall (Patreon), so, you know, profiting off of unlicensed distribution of another’s intellectual property

    Regarding genre, yeah, nintendo has no leg to stand on, and they know it anyway. You can’t claim ownership of art styles or game mechanics, but that’s neither the article nor the situation

      Yeah… Letting money be involved on the modder’s side is just stupid. Taking legal action is so much easier when there is money changing hands…

      I’m addressing what the article says here:

      All eyes are on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to see if the companies take some sort of legal action against Palworld

      I should’ve contextualised it better, but I kind of forgot that most people don’t read the link.

      Yes, I am aware of that, as the second paragraph of the very comment that you’re replying shows.
