Unfortunately nintendo lawyers are already on their way to send a cease and desist to OP for using their name in a lemmy post :(
Receiving a patent after another company already made a product that would infringe that patent?
That sure sounds very legal :^)
The patent application that led to the ‘255 patent was filed in September 2022, more than a year before Palworld’s launch. But Nintendo made amendments to the claims throughout the process, also after Palworld had been launched. Finally, the patent issued this year.
I guess, this is what makes it complicated…
Said that, in my opinion, game design patents are BS, as it it hinders free creativity a lotAlmost all patents are BS. At least for how they currently work. Anything longer than a few years is just selfish capitalism.
Y E S ! ! !
God, I wouldn’t even play the newer Pokémon games if I pirated them. Imagine being sued because somone thought you copied “Z-A”, or whatever dumbass name the newest Pokémon game has. “Your honor, in my defense, my game isn’t steaming hot shit, therefore I couldn’t have copied Nintendo.”
Nintendo is the worst fucking company, and yet all I hear is “I can’t wait to get that Switch 2”. The general public doesn’t know fuck all about anything in the world.
No one cares about the problems of the world as long as they can get their dopamine dose
Hypothetically, If I were working at pocket pair, I’d put 2M in crypto on the side to support a team of devs to hack the switch two and enable piracy from year one. Fight fire with fire.
You don’t have to, switch 2 will be hacked next day by mario and zelda fanboys.
We still don’t have software-only exploit for switch 1 , even then only certain serial numbers hackable
I thought you could software-only hack the very first Switchs?
No, on those older versions you have to short two pins of the right joycon slot to enter a factory mode, where you can then push a payload from another device, usually a PC. Restarting the console undoes the unlock, so you have to push the payload again
There’s going to be no emulators look what Nintendo has done to switch one emulators. They are not going to allow switch 2 emulators to gain traction.
Don’t underestimate the power of the whole world against small japanese company. If they won’t be able to hack it without accessing hardware spec they will hack Nintendo servers and get all the hardware spec. World will always find the way to fuck corporation that closes it’s software / hardware.
Nintendo and their lawyers can go suck an elephant dick.
From part 8 of the newest doc
the boarding character is selected among a plurality of characters the player character owns in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, cause the player character to board an air boarding character and bringing the character into a state where the player character can move in the air
and while the player is aboard the air boarding character, move the player character, aboard the air boarding character, in the air based on a third operation input
Plurality of mounts and “second operation when in the air” ain’t new, World of Warcraft had that in 2007 with Burning Crusade. I have no clue what “third operation input” means there.
A lot of the other alterations seem to focus on “air boarding character”, probably because they realized that you can only change your mount in Palworld manually while on ground or water, which kept glider pals safe, as they were the only ones you could summon while in the air.
That’s funny because I’m betting the EU will just invalidate all the us parents as a retaliation to tarrifs
How long has palworld been out? getting a patentnow shouldn’t mean dick about palworld.
urge to buy switch 2… fading…
Be prepared to grab your pitchforks and torches! We storm against Goliath as dawn!
All jokes aside, would absolutely love it if a bunch of Sintendo “fans” all stormed the courtroom in support of them to give them to hopefully lower their brand reputation. Not just this potential case, but literally every single time they go to court anywhere.
