~~It shocks me just the amount of people rallying behind Palworld SOLEY just to "stick it to the big corp"~~
~~At worse its blind rage and ignorance~~
~~edit: watch me get pelted with downvotes.~~
I was wrong and I will take my L for it✌
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
IDGAF about Palworld as a game, personally. I've never played it and I don't plan to. But that doesn't make Nintendo's behavior not bullshit, and I still hope the Palworld developers win this battle.
Yeah, you did not read any of the articles about this or understand the suit.
Nintendo is putting this forth as a patent issue, not a copyright issue. I presume this is because even they are smart enough to realize that they would probably lose a copyright challenge. However, the patents they are attempting to claim are clearly bullshit. They're just doing this as a bludgeon to bully a company they don't like, most likely in the hopes that the sheer cost of litigation will break them.
If they were going to propose that some of the monster models from Palworld originated as Pokemon model rips, they could arguably have a leg to stand on. But that's not what they're saying. The outcome of this case is not going to have any impact on copyright issues. Rather, the potential result is much more dangerous -- it would confirm that a big company can just come in late and retroactively lay claim to large swathes of mechanical concepts that have already widely in use in a particular industry for decades.
Wait.
so this whole situation isnt about Model rips???
I will respectfully shit the fuck up then and delete my comments. Im compulsive, and judging by what everyone else was saying read all if this as
A. Fuck nintendo cus they bad
B. The patent is that they ripped their models.
It is not about model rips. Check your inbox to my other reply to another of your comments.
I did, I deleted/edited my comments (◍•ᴗ•◍)👍🏾
im a stinky dumb dumb who didnt read the lawsuit. Forgive me im impulsive (u-u)✌
Good, then. Fuck IP laws.
Why tf would you even say that, everybody deserve the right to own some shit bruh. I fuck with fangames n all that but stealing assets and profiting from them with no consent is fucked.
How much is Nintendo paying you to be their mouth piece?
Have you seen the kind of patents Nintendo are trying to get?
Here is an example :
You can check them out for yourself
patents assigned to the pokemon company
So calm the fuck down with your chatGPT which is a whole different situation.
Bitch I pirate all my nintendo games wtf are you on 😭😭😭
~~Their sueing in Patents. Not how similar it looks.~~
~~I dont see this as any different than ChatGBT generating me an essay similar to one that already exists, the only difference is it changed some of it. Thats plagiarism(if not then its just wrong).~~
~~Theres even proof of them using THEIR MODELS and altering them. You cant do that shit without being transparent about it. How hard is that to grasp~~
Ignore this and read the edited post. thank you.
What do you think I linked dipshit?
With ridiculous patent like that, Nintendo could sue pretty much any companies.
ChatGPT is scraping copyrighted material, not patents.
Nintendo is suing for patent infringement.
Read the edited post 😭 I was mislead.
Your wall of text doesn't make sense, contradicts itself and mixes up cases. PocketPair was sued for patent infringement, not intelectual property. If they did commit intelectual property / copyright infringement, you bet they'd be sued before even releasing the game.
That being said, this angry wall of text implies that you might need help with mental health. I'm sure there is a beautiful human being underneath all that, so please, consider talking to therapist.
Did I not already just say that I admitted to being wrong beforehand???
And of course I got mental health issues you dipstick IM AUTISTIC lmfao. I'm not finna hide that fact either. I'll admit when I'm wrong and be done with it! Id appreciate you not bringing my mental health into this shit thanks✌ I cant always control what I do but owning up to my mistakes is the best I can do. You playing me off like I need therapy is a shit move.
