  Can’t wait for modders to mod it back in.

    I wondered about this. Would they be in violation if these were mods made by them that they received no additional payment for? Does it matter if it’s released officially or by individual accounts of the devs?

    Thankfully Nintendo can’t do shit about every day modders.

  I think in Germany you can’t paten software. Wouldn’t that be heaven for gamedevs?

    if patents were actually used properly it would be no issue. They were meant to prevent other companies from stealing your mechanic as you were still in development, however it’s changed to be an abuse tactic to prevent others from entering the field.

  Oof.

  No more gliding with pals. You need to have a glider. Gliding buffs still work though.

  and just like that, my temporary negative review just became permanent. Heavily against allowing bullying like this.

    So you gave a negative review to a game that’s more or less forced to make changes because of a different shitty company?

      I put a negative review for a company making their game worse, because that’s what they did.

      The fact that they did it without a court decision saying “yes defo in the wrong here” didn’t help the decision making process.

      I am firm in my decision, a game as big as palworld was, just bending over backwards to a patent bully like Nintendo doesn’t deserve a good review, and nothing is going to change that.

    “Allowing bullying”

    You walk up to kids that got their face punched in on a playground and tell them to quit being a little bitch, too?

      I don’t think I understand your argument here.

      I think a better comparison would be am I going to feel bad for the kid who got punched in the face with padding on, then decided that getting punched in the face was OK so they removed the padding. And the answer is firmly no
