i hope palworld wins this lawsuit, they deserve it!!!
Since its Nintendo they probably won't win it which would suck since for obvious reasons Nintendo is greedy and doesn't want fan projects which is obvious with fan games like am2r so yeah I love pointing out the obvious and yapping
let’s boycott nintendo by not buying their Switch
@@Kitsune_Dev Good luck with that, whoever wanted a Switch already has one by now.
They won't, it'll get changed and they won't afford the lawyer costs.
Sadly, so far Nintendo has won every lawsuit that they started, including against massive companies. But, just because Palworld has to settle doesn't mean that the game will get pulled from online stores
I love how Nintendo would rather kill any and all competition rather than actually make good games themselves.
At least buy the devs like Valve would amirite?
you "love"
Nintendo does make excellent games, even today. Nintendo doesn't make pokemon games though. Another company is responsible for making pokemon games. Nintendo makes stuff like Zelda and Mario
@@sailingadventurer True Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon games, but they still own it with two other companies: Game Freak and Creatures. But the point is that Nintendo would rather crush another company so they do not have any competition.
@@sailingadventurer
They’re good but could be so much better if Nintendo and the fans stop allowing them to be cheap with console production.
The switch is so piss poor when it comes to handling heavy games that aren’t specifically made for it, imagine the BoTW and ToTK if it was produced for something like the Ps5 or PC.
The fact Nintendo waited half year just to strike is kinda strange
Calculated for maximum profits.
It could also be that they couldn't find an argument that would hold up in court until now.
They had to find the weak spot. Wasn't glowing red
building a strong case takes time
not strange at all. they had to build their case before presenting it to a judge and it's not something you do overnight, you come prepared.
Solution. Save a copy on an OFFLINE computer and play it forever there.
No updates means No way for em to delete it. It's 100% offline playable.
Steam can't delete games you bought from your library and palworld doesn't need online to play.. Even if it is removed from purchase on steam it will still be downloadable and playable.
@@liberator-sf4bf It wont be downloadable once its removed but it'll be playable if you already have it.
Edit: Since people cant be arsed to read a couple comments down I will clarify here, I meant it cant be bought from steam... it can still be played. I used the wrong wording. Chill tf out.
Or pirate it?@@malikfoxen2045
@@malikfoxen2045that’s not true. I have Deadpool on steam and can uninstall and reinstall whenever I want. I can even download it on my steam deck.

THERE ARE NO LAWS AGAINST PALS IN PALWORLD BATMAN!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
JOKER, NOOOOO
Batman yesssssss!
DONT DO IT JOKER!
😂😂😂😂
There's also no crying in baseball.
Here's the funny thing. Palworld was in open development back in 2021. This "patent" was created back in like 2022/23. By this logic what legal grounds does nintendo have to stand on? The patent itself is sketchy because it's built around an idea, which shouldn't be patentable.
furthermore its also just protecting the EXACT mechanic, a derivative that acts sufficiently different is completely legal (as in multiple changes throughout the scaling of health based chances, upgrading catching chance etc)
nintendo is just pissy because gamefreak has turned into a hot pile of trash and all the money went to some comparatively few dudes that worked their ass off instead.
The process is the punishment. Nintendo can stall until the smaller company goes bankrupt
@@HiUnidentified Couldn't Digimon claim the same about Pokemon?
@@mdb45424 Luckily they sold over 25M copies + whatever they make from game pass.
Not really because pokemon came out before Digimon.@@lemonstealinghorse
Breaking: Palworld devs hire look-a-like lawyers, with guns.
genius
My cynical brain can't accept the idea that Nintendo stands to gain/not-lose more money by killing Palworld than if they were to allow it to coexist in a spirit of friendly competition.
Nintendo doesn't make good enough Pokémon games. In the same way Palworld DIDN'T steal the pal designs, Nintendo should NOT steal Palworld's game design and make a comparable product with their own underutilized IP.
We literally could live in a world where money is printed by both games, and everyone wins. There are people choosing to kill fun.
Nintendo don't make survival games .. nor do they make PC games .. they don't have a case whatsoever.
Gamefreak makes bad Pokemon games
Clearly only Nintendo are allowed to make fictional characters.. Anyone else in the world ever thinking of anything fictional like that, must obviously be copying Nintendo...
It's the evil spirit of: "It's not enough that I win, it's also that you must lose!"
my man, not even debating nintendo being dicks here but this could have been avoided by palworld, they just needed to have original designs and not copy paste some pokemon basically 1:1, but that would have cost money and time and they were too lazy for it, so they kinda deserve it.
They prefer to maintain a monopoly on Pokémon-style games, churning out half-baked open-world titles instead of investing resources into creating a well-crafted game.
The fact Nintendo created a Patent just to sue PocketPair is ridiculously sad.
It's stupid and nonsensical, they will lose that case if the judge has a lick of common sense.
It's pathetic
@@AscendantStoicWe all know the judges will prefer the side with more green 💸
That’s grimy
@@AscendantStoic if its held in japan (which it is iirc) there is a 80% chance alone that nintendo will win without even looking at it. Not stupid from a company standpoint - i would do the same - then if i win, years later - bring out a similar game -> everyone will buy it. case closed (btw such things already happend in the gaming & other industries). & guess what, ppl love it. so its a win win situation for everyone. (except the initial creator, but by then nobody gonna remember them anyway)
Palworld will stay on top.
@@Scosher This is not a copyright lawsuit, but a patent lawsuit that Nintendo has been preparing for months. No doubt Nintendo will win and Pocket Pair will have to pay billions of yen to Nintendo.
nintendo at bottom
@@Scosher player count says otherwise
@@実は弱い五条悟 And you know whats sad if they do win all that money their games may still be shit xD
@@CriminalityIsMid Nitendo made 11 billion dollars last year. Way more then Blizzard.
Nintendo never ceases to amaze me with how petty they are
It’s not petty it’s pathetic
Maybe people should try making an original game, and copy nothing from Nintendo. Just a thought. Morons just can't help it.
@@QuantumNovayou are so right. Like how game freak copied from dragon quest. What morons, amirite?
That's why we wont let them fucking win. Nintendo need to have consequences for their actions. They will win if we do nothing at all.
@@QuantumNovaOr maybe Nintendo should start making good pokemon games that people want.
Pokemon but 2 steps ahead
Daym boys 8 month prepare... There no chance here men.
WRONG 10 steps dont forget the devs actualy care for you trashtendo are play our game loser give us your money
this has been the greatest social experiment by pocketpair
Wish Id like it, but im just not a fan of survival or crafting. When I see him open the inventory with all those items...blah =/ Id have loved to see Blizzard survival game if they could had made it better for somebody like me. Survival games have way to much to learn - Like I can load into Raft, or smaller indie survival, and its just confusing and not obvious.
Nintendo be like, so I'm the villian!!!
Palworld is not Pokemon with guns. On the surface it looks like it, but it plays entirely differently from Pokemon. Gameplay > superficial looks. Pokemon is a turn based RPG. Palworld actually has more in common with a survival game like Ark than Pokemon when it comes to actual gameplay.
That's something I wish more people would understand. the moment I played this I felt no actual Pokemon gameplay and I especially don't remember Pokemon having guns or capturing humans, base building, slave labor and the other things this game does that Pokemon doesn't do because they want a family friendly image.
I believe the lawsuite is over the patent of capturing battle companions in an orb like object. I still think its BS, but it isn't about the superficial looks.
Everyone said that indies would save the industry, but this is the great fear, big companies will now sue them just for having game mechanics that are similar, even tho they dont win, the amount of resource for a indie Studio to spend on it is too much for them
Sony and Aniplex have partnered to develop Palworld's licensing business with three companies.
(Palworld Entertainment, Inc.)
Palworld Mobile is being developed by the developer of PUBG.
I think that's why Nintendo decided to sue.
Pocketpair is no longer an indie game company
Can you not see how incredibly and suspiciously similar the characters are? They say their artists have spent a lot of time on the designs, but I doubt it. There are so many ways you can make a cool, sporty rabbit, but somehow it looks just like Cinderace…? Down to the small details might I add.

@@PiggyBonkers0309the lawsuit is for patent infringement, not copyright. They're suing for the mechanic of capturing a creature in an object thrown at it, not for the designs.
Inform yourself before spreading misinformation.
Also if we're gonna start talking about inspired designs, nintendo did the exact same thing with dragon quest, with most of Gen 1 pokemon being *extremely* inspired from dragon quest monsters.
@@PiggyBonkers0309 the lawsuit isn't for character design but for game mechanics of the pokeball
Nintendo absolutely has no ground with this lawsuit. Three key things:
-Pokemon is not the first or original monster tamer game
-Concepts like the pokeball were actually "inspired" From other media like Ultraman.
-Palworld is far closer to A.R.K. and than Pokemon in terms of core mechanics.
its amazing that by being 3 times better then the recent pokemon games, they are still probably 200 times better then ark (but still more similar)
Nintendo just trying to bleed the company through frivolous lawsuits because Nintendo is sitting on buckets of cash. This should be illegal
@@Crusader3454Pokemon hasnt released a good game in over 15 years so how could Palworld be copying them? If I was the judge I'd toss the case on that alone

These AAA companies really take the fun out of gaming.
Yea and is pissing me off they ruined the fun out of it this is why I use emulator games without buying there real switch
Nintendo was just waiting for them to become big enough to cause the maximum possible emotional damage
Yup they’re brutal
Saying "Only level 14s" and "only miners" as a double entendre is hilarious
no
@@thomgizziz Yes
Honestly fuck Nintendo.
They waited for them to make money. Can't sue and make money from sueing if they have no money
that's the worst and darkest nature of humanity laid bare . well said .
In the US, that would be grounds for revoking the patent.
@@clovermite best part is Nintendo didn’t even create the patent until 2022/23 but palworlds development began before that. Nintendo doesn’t even have a real case here, but the resources required to fight off such a juggernaut would likely cost the devs of palworld a fortune, and so they may not be able to do it.
I don't think they would earn that much money from this tbh. Nintendo is valued at about 63 Billion usd ish, which means that losing the lawsuit might devalue them a bit, which is more than what Palworld has made in sales. Nintendo want monopoly on their so called Pokemon mechanics, they're afraid that Palworld's success will create more games like this in the future that's not Nintendo.
Nintendo legal ninjas strike again
Reminder that Palworld does not have any kind of DRM or require an internet connection to work. You will always be able to launch the .exe file from the game files and play the singleplayer mode
I'm out of the loop but the issue I'd see is that the game isn't finished?
Nintendo has always been famous for nasty tactics. Back in the day they wanted to file a lawsuit against Blockbuster for videogame rentals, they threatened retailers about selling Tengen titles during their legal battle against Atari Games by telling them they would stop providing NES consoles and games if they started selling Tengen titles in their stores and the list goes and goes and goes...
A Nintendo lawyer is never late, Yamaguchi, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to!
no.
Peak.shady business man style. Truly the corporate of all time
Dude i bought this and never played it. I hope palworld wins, I fucking hate Nintendo's propensity to sue.
I feel ya man. I played it a bit but my current setup isn't good enough to properly run it, so I'm waiting for an upgrade before really getting into it.
i hate patents
Better play now just in case brother
They really are the fun police.
same... im a person who dont like to replay games. It lookes very fun, so i got it early and witing for the finished product... and now i might not get to play it at all becouse of some greedy ultra rich people.
If you already payed for Palworld on steam they ain’t deleting it from your library no matter what
Steam might not, but I believe they are both capable of doing so and legally allowed to do so in the US due to fucked up EULA conditions and the US's weak consumer protections
palwold is also better version of minecraft if you think about it for building and world exploring
@@ravenspurplebeats5412 the building could use some work, they should try to emulate the building system from Valheim or Enshrouded
@@ravenspurplebeats5412 In my mind, Palworld is closer to Valheim than it is to Minecraft. Minecraft is heavily focused on crafting and, I believe, offers much more flexibility in that regard.
Is there anything similar to minecraft's red blocks in Palworld? I never played far enough to find out myself.
@@clovermite if you dont think of whole cube shape, you build houses and bases on minecraft still but few games have feature/mechanic of building own bases also as ark is also like that and that has been known to be compared with palworld.

i'll never buy a nintendo console or play another nintendo game legally again
I'm so glad I sold all my nintendo games. Got most of my money back for these overpriced games 👍
You know Nintendo doesn't actually develop Pokemon games right?
& nintendo doesnt care if u do or not do. soo i think they can live with that "threat"
honestly i'd agree with you, but emulators for newer machines always seem finicky to me so im just not gonna play them either.
Same
I trust that FitGirl will have a version (or already had one). Nintendo can’t stop that.
Even if, we will never get the full release if that happens.
Not sure about Fitgirl but before I buy my copy of Palworld I downloaded from a website I trust and till this day it's still having the new builds uploaded and when I played I remember even online mode used to work on those builds, so dw there's people around the world working on it 👍
I'd also like to add that the game is fully made in Unreal Engine, which is pretty easy to make content/mods
Nintendo will never stop the community of this game
Fitgirl and dodi have been very upset to date with the updates. I'm bout to secure my back up now lol
Somehow, a game that really pissed Nintendo to the point of using the ninja lawyer, lived WAY longer than concord... Impressive Palworld
come on man why insult any game compering it to concord i defend nitendo but thats too far
It better not get removed from Steam, I'll be so mad at Nintendo. They're getting way too Ballsy with all these takedowns lately
Stop coping they treat us consumers like shit and any indie studio even WORSE Nintendo are scum that have good IPs
i paid full price for mine on steam and im wanting to keep it on my library no matter the cost.
Well as long as you have it in your library it will be like FNAF World, or Deadpool.
You can redownload it repeatedly even if it was delisted
@@electrobob992wait for real? You can do that? I always thought that if the game is removed from steam, you can never redownload it or even play an installed one without cracks
Don't forget about Game freak they are involved with this too I'll be very piss off if they got removed on steam
So sad Nintendo instead of making a game people wanted they decided to just sue other games that are smaller then them so only they have a monopoly on these specific type of games
Literally not at all. This game rips character designs from Pokemon. If it didn't, there'd be no grounds to sue
That's not what they're sueing for@@kylespevak6781

Wont work cause there are people who have never heard of pal world like me till i saw this or just doesn’t give a shit
Does Nintendo not understand that they would look amazing if they didn't try to sue everyone?
They most likely do not care unfortunately.
What's even more funny is how they took the Pokémon idea and made a better game than the OG's because mostly they just create Repetitive Pokémon games with nothing to little that is new lol
thats the part that players want from pokemon, is the same game with new designs. but the last few pokemon games were developed like they were thrown together in a 2 week binge of fried chicken and coffee

Nintendo shouldn't sue them, it should compete against them and release their own version of this game.
Nintendo saw Palworld sponsor CdawgVA's charity stream and said hell naw we can't have a pokemon-alike sponsoring anything good in this world.
no, this lawsuit is for copyright infringement
@@mementomori1553 No it's not. It's for patent infringement
Palworld really change his life for the last time
The American side of Nintendo started this lawsuit and they're accusing Pocketpair of 'patent' infringement, not copyright, which means that they're not accusing them of stealing, they're accusing them of using similar mechanics like capturing monsters in a ball. The problem is that Pokèmon is not the first game where capturing monsters in a device was a mechanic. Dragon Quest had that mechanic long before that when it was published by Enix (now Square Enix). And Palworld has been in development since 2021 and many of the mechanics, like ball capturing, has been known since 2022 and the patent by Nintendo was only applied last year so it's definitely malicious.
Been so long since Pokemon had actual competiton. I hope Palworld wins the lawsuit.
I'm hopeful they will, if the judge has any common sense, this is clearly malicious case.
Unless they pay off the judge or something I think they have a very large chance. They didn't invent the concept of capturing monsters.
Only bad side is that we’re talking about Nintendo here…
Palworld doesn't have trade evolutions
employee: palworld is so good. let make our next pokemon better.
nintendo CEO: no no NO. thats too much money and time to develop. we will just sue poketpair and make our next pokemon game like the previous one but with a lil bit of gimmick

Both blizz and nintendo are on my hopeless list. Im not sure what hope you see in any.
Took you this long? Lmfao
I highly doubt they will remove the game from Steam and Xbox. They might have to pay for damages and/or change the pal spheres to something else but I don’t think Nintendo can have the game removed due to a few patents.
That's literally what patents and copyright is for
@@kylespevak6781 It's what it's for, doesn't mean it's what it does. These sorts of things are deemed invalid and dropped all the time.
@@kylespevak6781 No, patents and copyright are for protecting intellectual property. Paying damages and changing the infringing items serves the purpose of the patent and/or copyright. Companies definitely abuse the system to try to get stuff taken down, but that's definitely not their purpose.

$45 in my country
Nintendo hates you and hates the devs of this game. Their not gonna give you anything other than a headache

Most of the Nintendo lawsuit is fight against art usage.
The only one copyright lawsuit recently was against White Cat Project (COLOPL).
*Nintendo sue COLOPL because they registered some Nintendo's gameplay as new copyright and sold to another company.
Nintendo communicated COLOPL for a year before suing them but pocketair didn't know everything before that.
That make me feel strange about this.

like I really laughed my ass off when I stepped out of that cave and saw the elden ring map and the huge trees, it was one of the best moments of this year
honestly, fuck Nintendo. Palworld is awesome. I hope there's a renewed wave of support for this game
Trust me, Nintendo would make sleeping in video games a patent.
Dude, where's my Pal?
Devs won't let it die. If Nintendo wins, expect server codes
? You can host dedicated servers for Palworld right now.
How could they actually kill it tho? I never understand copy right laws ect.
Japan doesn't have fair use laws, and therefore there is no fair use. Even worse if they can prove you somehow stole their property.
the law doesnt even understand copyright so dont worry you arent left out.
Copyright is bullshit that is enforced about as well as those baby gates you buy for kids. It has so many issues that it's comical and it is easily abusable, like how Nintendo has been doing since forever to stomp out competition.
If you buy a Nintendo Switch 2, you are part of the problem. Nintendo is cooked
Isn't it obvious that nintendo did this because palworld devs said they will make some moblie shit with sony? Like literally they didn't do it to genshin. why would they do this exept this the timing fits perfectly. Why are people like i'm surprised it took then 6 months to do this

Its not a copyright lawsuit
@@someotherofficial

they didn't even created the concept of capturing monsters
@@mosesa.weaver3058 patent infringement, the concept of catching a creature in open world I think it's one of the patents they have which is incredibly scummy.
@@mosesa.weaver3058 - it's a patent lawsuit. it means Nintendo claims to own the idea of "capture a creature in a ball". this means Palworld either cannot use this concept OR must pay for a license to use this concept.
Nintendo suing for the rights to slave labor and breeding miners. What a world.
If Pocketpair doesn't back down, I seriously think they will have a chance. If they took months to find something wrong with the game then they were probably searching for the smallest little thing to attack which would probably be the gameplay patent. If they win, then they've opened up the Pandora's box for copyright law since now the first ever action movie could strike all other action movies for using the overpowered one man army patent, DOOM can strike every FPS game for using first person for their shooter, Atlus can strike all monster tamer/battler games, including pokemon etc.
It makes no sense and no patent should be copyrightable.
I understand that copyright law is there to help, but because it is so poorly enforced and loosely defined, we'd be better off without it until it gets it's shit together
This is why it’s so important for physical media. If it had physical copies people could play regardless if companies fall or get sued.
You going to give me my money back, Nintendo, if you force Palworld out?
Did you know that if you take the word NINTENDO, remove any letter, and swap the remaining letters for seven other letters, you get ARASAKA? Coincidence? Wake the fuck up people.
Nintendo has got nothing, they absolutely do not deserve to win this one.
Instead of coming up with something that is better, they go for a lawsuit. welcome to Nintendo world. we fck anyone who does something better than us
“I lost my best pal iunno where he is” felt that
Perhaps instead of trying to sue Palworld they should instead focus on making a NOT shitty Pokémon game.
Nintendo acts like LEGO
if nintendo wins this on base of the game design conflicts, the videogame industry is truly cooked
Gamers need to seriously start getting good at boycotting. If we had half the conviction of swifties we wouldn't have this problem.
why we would give a shit about a half assed game when nitendo this year and next releases awesome games
Imagine just recycling the same game for decades and get mad that others are doing a better job at improving your concept
Nintendog strikes again
I hope we dont lose pal world. :(
asmon put in all that work on that one single pal, but didn't even bother to name him ._.
Nah it’s being announced on ps5 at Tokyo games
Anybody remembering Tem Tem? The game that literally was a Pokemon MMO with mechanics even more similar to Pokemon than Palworld. Yet Tem Tem still exists to this day and even has a Switch Port. I guess Tem Tem wasnt that much of a financial success for Nintendo to think it would pose a threat to them but Palworld apparently is, although its far more different to Pokemon than Tem Tem is.
nintendo has already been going downhill and this is a nail in the coffin for me. this was so extremely scummy of nintendo to do.
Palworlds better win the lawsuit. The point of patents is to breed innovation, and Palworlds is more innovative than any of Pokemon's recent games.
Pal world didn't 'steal' those ideas from Pokemon, because those ideas pre-date Pokemon.
I'm pretty sure the patent infringement is based on throwing an item to catch a creature. Not because some of the pals look like pokemon.
Regardless.... "hey Nintendo, you suck!"
Aaa the company that make the same exact carbon copy game every few years with the same title since they run out of idea thus the shamelessly known as the milking pokemon and mario organization, Nintendog
If I can't play Palworld, the first thing I'll do is contact the European Commissioners to intervene against Nintendo and Steam!!!
It was a matter of time till Dicktendo sue them.
And just to be clear - no Nintendo technically has no right to sue and win with someone who came out with a similar ideas and designs. They own no exclusivity for it and none of assets owned by Nintendo got copied.
Pokemons in fact are not even Nintendo's original idea - as they are based on creatures from Dragon Quest.
So apparently Nintendo is sue on the grounds of how you capture pals in the game which is stupid because there are hundreds of games with almost if not the same mechanics in games
I think Nintendo has created a situation for themselves of "damned if they do, damned if they dont." If they win, people will no longer support pokemon, and if they don't win, they'll still lose fan support of pokemon. They should've sued poketpair when people "exposed" the similarities a long time ago. Don't wait after they become a success.
This is literal sabotage, and they know poket pair would have to hold off development of future projects, AND spend loads of money to defend themselves from this lawsuit.
This lawsuit is a patent lawsuit about a game mechanic or mechanics in pal world not a copyright lawsuit.
Nintendo could also have planned this out; they wait for Pocket Pair to succeed, learn everything that PP did well or not, then shut them down and make their own version. It's like fattening chicken before butchering it.
You can't just insta sue a company. They've probably been working on this for a LONG time.
Nintendo needs to lose the lawsuit, and they should take reputational damage every day the lawsuit continues.
Why is it being removed
My guess massive lawsuite.
Nintendo
Nintendo is actually suing Palworld, so there is a small possibility that it could be removed
Don't know if it will be removed, but Nintendo Sued them, and Nintendo is a motherfucket when it sues people
because nintendo doesnt like competition
Even if this is legally the right move...it will not be appreciated by the consumer
I used to love nintendo but their behavior lately while still wearing a big corpo smile just makes me enraged
I think Nintendo waited this long intentionally. Just long enough for PalWorld to have enough money for Nintendo to take!
Man Nintendo can’t handle even a little bit of competition.
Lol that troll title. ...and Asmon can honestly say his editor did it.
I'm never touching a Pokemon game, never have, never will.
Asmongold souding kinda cute todya hopefully no one sees this.
