[–] ventusvir@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 child) That's not why they were sued tho permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 point 2 months ago It does feel a little like going after Al Capone on tax evasion, but here we are. There's other games that do the sued for things, and they didn't get sued. Tem Tem, etc. World of Warcraft's pet system was very Pokemon-like. Palworld isn't even like Pokemon games. It's Ark Survival Evolved with a Fortnite look and Pokemon instead of dinosaurs, as far as I can tell. Blatantly swiping the art style and several Pokemon designs, and plastering it all over their marketing clearly pissed somebody at Nintendo off. They decided to sic the lawyers on them for something, even if it wasn't what they were angry about. permalink fedilink source parent
