Palworld modders are taking matters into their own hands and restoring mechanics that developer Pocketpair was forced to patch out due to Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s patent lawsuit.
It’s sad but they’ve been like this since the get-go. They sued Galoob for the Game Genie (and lost), and they sued Blockbuster for copying manuals so that people could have the manual to review when they rented games (and won). Nintendo has always been excruciatingly aggressive about protecting and policing their copyrights and IP, even when they’re dead wrong.
This is not an attempt to justify what they’re doing, just to point out that it’s unfortunately nothing new.
