Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit

  I just wanna know which amazing video game innovations We are protecting here in America

  First, I’m not talking specifically about America. Second, I’m not talking about “amazing innovations”. Copyright is also for trademarks, very characteristic gameplay mechanics, etc. For example, Playrix made “Fishdom” which was copy-paste Worms. Team17 won the case and protected their IP.

  Are we talking about the failing franchises that have been milking their customers for 15 years?

  Umm… No? What does that have to do with copyright or IP protection…?

  Have we done anything really innovative recently?

  Have you tried looking at titles from other publishers than Ubisoft, EA or Activition?

    Eh it’s all just stolen and borrowed code. Whens the next Dawn of war or command and conquer coming out? Oh never. locked behind IP laws and timid corpos.
