2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit (www.videogameschronicle.com)

With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

So, Nintendo can file patents after years of not filing them just to fuck with an Indie company after that company put out a product with game mechanics that "infringe said patents", but not to go after other large gaming companies like Microsoft that also infringe those same patents. Interesting take.

What the hell is wrong with you? Did I say Nintendo ought to be allowed to drive drunk? Or did I express confusion at why someone stepped in front of the speeding drunk? I'm fucking tired of "oh you defended him? What do you love him?" bullshit.

Sorry I didn't just shake my magic 8 ball and generate a pithy comment like you (probably) did. Here, I'll shake my ball and write what comes up.

Nintendo is fucking scum. I want a competitor to Pokemon. Copyright laws are broken. Lawyers! LAWYERS!!

Either you haven't read into what Nintendo is doing and kept up with what's been going on in the court case, (and perhaps meant to put a /s at the end of your first comment), or you're blaming Palworld for something Nintendo did because they are big mad that anyone would dare make a game even remotely similar to theirs. I don't care if you're defending Nintendo or not.

NINTENDO LITERALLY APPLIED FOR PATENTS FOR GAME MECHANICS used in Palworld after the game was already released to the public. They invented a reason to sue. They directly manufactured it. Your inability to communicate your thoughts on the matter is not my problem. Maybe stop raving for a minute and compose a reply that actually makes sense.
