    Good. The fact patents exists on game mechanics seriously ruins gaming.

    god I don’t even care for Palworld, it’s just clearly not a game for me, but if their spat with Nintendo ultimately ends with Nintendo losing a bunch of their bullshit patents I will buy a copy to sit in my library untouched

    Instead of letting Palworld do its thing, Nintendo decided to fuck around, they are now finding out.

    Sounds like it’s about time for the new NoA president to attend one of Trump’s million-dollar dinners.
