How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn't under patent?

Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

Shit like this is why I haven't bought a Nintendo product in many years.

They might think it's keeping their profits up, but it's hurting their business, as a lot more people than me feel the exact same way.

Wouldn't a game mechanic/animation like that be equivalent to a stunt in a movie?

Like, imagine if a film director wanted to blow up a car in his movie, but was getting sued by Paramount because Michael Bay already blew up a car in Transformers.

So can we please fork v0.5.4?

I wonder how much of this game they can force them to change. I know Steam has a 2 hour limit for returns but at what point does this game become “not the game I bought”?

The last Nintendo console I bought was the Nintendo DS lite. The last Nintendo product I bought was Age of Empires DS The Age of Kings.

As you can probably tell, that was a rather long time ago. Since getting my first TTDS flash card I've more or less exclusively pirated Nintendo things. I'll just continue doing that.

News like this isn't giving me any remorse.

Make it so that you can give the glider pal skins.

I wonder how hard it would be for an "unofficial" patch to "somehow" be released that restores the previous functionality

They could simply have the pals hold on to gliders that the players can use and nothing would change in the gameplay...
