I can't wait to play Elden Ring 2 when it's made by Nintendo because Elden Ring used summoning and now only runs at 12 fps.

MODERATORS
Nintendo also owns the rights to platformers, racing games, and rpgs. Tough luck, that's just how it is.
NPC dialogs? Owned by Nintendo too.
Hey listen!
Did you pay for that parent use?
Don't forget alarm clocks
Or 'love hotels'. You want to rent a room by the hour, Mario gets his cut.
If it was made by Nintendo (not Gamefreak) it would actually be optimized
If by optimized you mean removing most details and adding a cartoon filter over it.
Vs
Terrible legal practices aside.
Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with "realistic graphics" has ever stood the test of time.

This is why I can't support Nintendo.
death to intellectual property
And nintendo.
*for digital content
nah, death to all intellectual property. it’s not better when it’s physical. in fact, in some cases, it’s much much worse; like with medicine patents
Patents are not intellectual property and they are regulated by the patent office. Intellectual property is not regulated and cannot be blanket dismissed.
We just need someone competent on patent offices
How are patents not intellectual property?
Patents are made on concepts. IPs are made on the complete production.
That doesn't seem to be true. Patents are listed foremost among types of IP in multiple sources.
An embarrassing failure describes the US quite well actually. Also fuck Nintendo. Don't give them your money.
I'm going to patent electrons passing through a xor gate
You can get a licence from Nintendo if you like.
You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.
Nah, you just need to get a friendly judge to tell whoever decides to dispute your patent that they're wrong and your patent is totally valid and innovative
patent nand and nor! You'll get much more out of it
Prior art exists of that though so you wouldn't be able to. I know you're making a joke though lol.
If Nintendo can patent MOUNTS in the year of our lord 2025, that lemming can patent logic gates.
I thought this was about the ball throwing to capture monsters
They filed a fuck load of patents. This is one of them.
Translation: mounts that can walk and fly. Which already exist in God knows how many games.
I fucking hate Nintendo.
Capcom should start their patent for 2D fighting games and see what happens to Super Smash Bros
The USPTO is notorious for granting insane patents knowing they are invalid or too vague and expect the court system to be the final arbiter. It’s almost as if they like stirring shit up for there own amusement.
Someone in the patent office got bribed.
This entire regime is for sale. Top to bottom.
I'm fully stopped. Now what?
Hammer time
The time for "collaborate and listen" has passed. Now, the time for Nintendo to bring down hammer go hammer mc hammer yo hammer and the rest can go and play has arrived.
“They have been an embarrassing failure of the US ~~patent system.~~ “ seems like a trend these days
I'm surprised that Palworld was even able to release, honestly.
What's frustrating is that the thing that is arguably questionable (the art of some of the characters) isn't what is the subject of anything. Nope. Ball throwing.
That's because copyright and trademark are more specific than patents. You have to use the exact look to be in violation. Patents are more of a vibes protection. You can sue for close enough.
Why? Anybody who's played it knows it only has a passing resemblance to Pokémon. Once you play the game, you realize how different it is in its mechanics and story from pokemon.
Nintendo doesn't own the idea of monster taming. The idea predates their company by quite a bit actually.
I agree, but Nintendo usually gets away with legally bullying companies
