The game itself isn’t ripping off anything. Pokémon is such a direct “rip off” of digimon, too, then. Except it doesn’t matter, cause that’s what stuff is. Stuff is made up of other stuff and oftentimes there will be similarities!
I mean, for one I was talking about the designs of the creatures and the specific ball mechanic/theme, but also Pokémon came out before Digimon anyway.
Brother, you made a stupid comment. You didn’t read the article and you don’t know why the lawsuit is happening. Literally all of your comments are irrelevant to the discussion — you can’t hide behind it’s the hivemind!
I did read the article and I do know why the lawsuit is happening, at least what’s been reported, as I’ve read a few articles about it. I’m not hiding behind anything, and people are free to disagree with me.
A reminder that all I said at first was that I was surprised to find out just how much they were ripping off Pokémon, and what I was referring to (but not clearly) were in many of the designs and the brazen pokeballs. I didn’t comment on the lawsuit at all, at first.
I really hope you’re lying because if you do know what this is about, then that just makes all of your comments worse. Also, you’re calling people who disagree with you a hivemind, so don’t try to pretend you’re fine with it.
You said that, in this case, you were in favor of a big company bullying a little one with the law because they ripped off pokemon designs, which isn’t even a topic that is being discussed here. If anyone needs a reminder of what you commented, it’s you.
I just want you to know that I saw your comment, said “oh, that’s off topic and an overall bad take”, and then downvoted. That’s when I noticed your score was negative and not positive. I’m not part of a hive mind, friend. You just had/have a bad take imo.
I don’t remember the vitriol being as consistent on reddit. On a larger scale here, if it’s a computer, it needs to be Linux or you’re downvoted. If it’s video games, it needs to be a PC or they don’t want to hear about it. Even Steam that was generally loved on Reddit gets some flack, because GOG is more DRM free from what I can tell (I don’t game on PCs)

Lemmy is the wrong place to mention Nintendo. You will get obliterated by people.
I don’t mind. It’s no different than Reddit, people see downvotes and just pile on. No room for discussion, no thoughtful discourse, just hive mind.

No, I called people who saw downvotes and piled on to the downvotes a hive mind. Please do not put words in my mouth.
Have a nice day.
Nobody saw downvotes and piled on, people saw a dumb comment and downvoted it. Regardless of what you decide to tell yourself.
