    Pathetic corporate simp.

    Nothing like feeling powerful behind a screen eh?

        You tell me, shill. I’m this unpleasant IRL, too.

        That is good to know. Hopefully someone in your RL checks your chin to correct this behavior.

  We are talking about gliding on a mount…a very common game feature…

    "On November 30th, 2024, we released Patch v0.3.11 for Palworld,” it said. “This patch removed the ability to summon Pals by throwing Pal Spheres and instead changed it to a static summon next to the player.

    Well I am talking about the blatant plagiarism, which is what the devs for Palworld did.

      Summoning creatures from a sphere is hardly blatant plagiarism. Many, many, many games have the ability to summon creatures from an object. Pokemon was far from the first one to do it…

        Summoning creatures from an object is hardly “blatant plagiarism”. Many, many, many games have the ability to summon creatures from an object. Pokemon was certainly not the first one to do it…

        What will you argue if I bring up the fact that they ripped off countless Pokemon?

        Oh wait.

        I don’t care because I am not here to argue with someone who doesn’t understand what plagiarism is. Luckily the courts do, and ruled on the case. :)

  Except it doesn’t. Nintendo was only able to do this by exploiting Japanese-specific patent law since Palworld is made by a Japanese company. They had no case otherwise.

    “They wouldn’t have a case if they didn’t use local law” is a crazy argument.
