Palworld developer removed games features due to Nintendo legal pressure

When it first appeared in an early arrival game in 2024, the famous Palworld game/the instant successful video game set, but it did not require that the similarities with Pokemon would invite legal procedures. This happened after about eight months When Nintendo and Pokemon Companyy filed a lawsuit, on the pretext of violating patents.

Now, the players see some of the effects of this legal threat. Pocketpair, the studio behind informal satirical simulation, and some features in the game, such as using Pal CERTES (like tingling balls in Pokemon) were corrected from playing with updates in November and this month.

In a blog post Entitled “With regard to the lawsuit and changes in Palworld and the future, Pocketpair said that the changes” were already a result of continuous litigation. “

“Everyone here felt in Pocketpair was disappointed because this amendment had to be made, and we fully understand that many players feel the same frustration. Unfortunately, because the alternative would have led to a greater deterioration of the playing experience for the players, this change was determined necessary.”

A lot of discussion about the presence of Palworld and why it faces legal challenges related to whether the game itself can be legally protected if it is a satirical simulation. This may be the reason that the lawsuit is based on the violation of patents, focusing on the game mechanics, instead of violating copyright.

Even with the suspended legal procedure, the game’s expansion has not slowed down. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC and PC keyboards There is still a portable copy of the business.
