Which still should not be illegal. And believe me I have no problem when Sony and Tencent go at each other‘s throat. Let them fight. But you can‘t protect a style or a genre. Especially when said genre is as old as the medium.

Palworld is a different game using similar mechanics. This game looked like the same game. I think the cases are different and I think basically trying to make the same game is not fair.
Sure no one cares about tencent vs Sony but what if it was tencent vs a smaller dev? Derivations are fine but ripoffs really probably should be limited.
Not to mention the original looked like they basically stole designs lol
