and how hilarious would that be? Nintendo takes out a vague patent in 2021....adds to it in 2024 with the sole purpose of suing Pocketpair (makers of Palworld) after Nintendo goes through the game and identifies areas where they could file extra bits from the parent patent then claim patent infringement...but it turns out there is prior art of the innovation 8 years ago...from a mod in GTA V that...get this...let's you play Pokemon

It's the kind of stuff you seriously couldn't make up if you tried as life is often weirder than our own imaginations. Plus some news on the other two patents and how they were granted after Palworld's release and after Sony struck a deal with Pocketpair

Someone got Mario extra mad...must have been Franklin

That would be the best outcome to this saga rofl.

It’s so damn hilarious you hope it really does invalidate the patent. Honestly by all tests it should

Nintendo is like that bully on the playground in school that needs to be put in its place.

Yet like a real life bully they somehow get away with it
