A kitchen sink monster taming survival sandbox game with Pokemon-like cute creatures, a handful of reaaaaally familiar designs, edgy shock factor marketing featuring gun violence and animal abuse, and enough obviously Pokemon-inspired gameplay elements that Nintendo decided to bring out all the IP big guns, from copyright infringement down to bullshit mechanics patents and claims that mods don’t count as prior art. (if a modder invents something, no they didn’t, and a developer that puts the same feature in a game years later can sue anyone who imitates the mod, according to Nintendo.)
Fun little animal capture Battler with base building and guns. Nintendo sued then for having a mechanic of being able to grow to capture and ride mounts without extra steps. Revised payments in the middle of the law suit too iirc.
Many microblogging and aggregation platform users prefer to ask questions within a thread to keep the conversation active. You can continue scrolling through other posts while waiting for an organic reply from another user.
I’m really glad this appears to be a popular way of thinking. Back in my day people would respond to questions like this with rude “let me Google that for you” links. I always preferred asking humans things rather than looking them up, and I think that’s become really important given the AI hellscape we’re experiencing.
Nah, a proper question and contribution would be to ask what the lawsuit is about. It’s ridiculous to expect others to explain what a high profile game is, that’s what a search engine is for. It takes literally 5 second or less to Google it and look at screenshots to understand what’s the point here.
This isn’t contributing anything. If your “active” conversation is nothing more than asking about widely available facts, it’s nothing but noise and might as well not be there.
Can I get a tldr oh what’s palworld?
Game where you enslave NotPokemon™
And shoot them with guns

You can’t use a search engine?
