Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit
Tramort@programming.dev 1 week agoAt a fundamental level, why should copyright exist? Is it helping society here by incentivizing Nintendo? No. Contemporary copyright has it wrong, and I think your starting assumptions ignore that fact.

Let me be clear :
Copyright law as it stands right now is stupid, and should only benefit individuals from large companies looking to use their resources to steal from them without compensation.
I’m just talking about not letting junk companies pretend they made a game for your favorite IP in a way that lets them trick less-informed people.
It seems most of the actual copyright law benefits big companies as it is interpreted now… which is kind of the opposite of how it originally was intended.
