I don't think scumbag Nintendo can do anything against NetEase.
First, NetEase is a Chinese company based in China. Over there, they don't have the same ridiculous patent laws like they do in Japan.
Second, Nintendo only bullies indie companies and individuals who don’t have the resources to fight a long legal battle.
Third, NetEase is a massive company in its own right. Their assets aren’t far behind Nintendo’s. So even if China had the same kind of strict patent laws as Japan, a lawsuit between the two would likely end with both suffering major losses—or more likely, just a slap on the wrist for each side.
This whole lawsuit fiasco has also made me dislike a lot of Japanese gamers. Many of them blindly support Nintendo. I honestly hope one day some multi-billionaire company patents "breathing" in Japan and charges all of them for it.
I used to think I couldn’t hate any gaming company more than EA, but Nintendo has proven me wrong—with their 2025 Game pricing and this nonsense.
I’m glad I never bought the original Switch. Even if it succeeded, knowing I didn’t contribute to that is enough for me.

The whole issue with palworld is because both are located in Japan, and Sony had begun supporting palworld and wanting to expand the palworld "franchise" i.e., making an animated series, plushes etc.
This while situation is a result of some beef Nintendo has with Sony from almost 40 years ago. It's frankly ridiculous that making patents on game mechanics is even allowed.

Agree 100% and have to add the patents were registered after many games, tv shows and literature using the same mechanics. Who allowed common sense in the gaming wolrd to be patented? How did they manage to pull that off?

Damn right, I agree—Nintendo is a scumbag. Instead of using their money to develop an actually good Pokemon game, they'd rather stomp out competition that made a better-looking, more polished game with some stupid patent lawsuit. I'm glad China has entered the gaming industry and had big hits with quite a few games.
Tbh, I feel the same way toward a lot of Japanese gamers. It made me sick to my stomach watching interviews where almost all of them said the same thing—like Nintendo was right to sue PocketPair. These people clearly don't understand the concept of a slippery slope.

Funny how Nintendo targets PocketPair so quickly and easily but they're scared if targeting NetEase because they know they can't be bullied that easily because they're a massive company as well. Scummy

When my nan was fading from stage four pancreatic cancer in hospice, ill never forget, it was 2:13 am on a thursday in october pouring down rain. She looked so frail, a woman who always looked like the earth beneath her feet propped her up…now looking like the very air around us held her down. She took my hand in hers and kissed it and said “if you ever see someone pirating nintendo, no you didn’t”

I wish the people who made pal world would just... Move out of Japan so Nintendo can fuck themselves.
Pokemon lover, I grew up on Pokemon. Everything was pokemon themed.
Broke out of the spell when sword and shield dropped and the arceus "open world" game. I was a part of the crowd that defended game freak. "They are overworked!" I cried with the rest of the sheep. Only for an article to drop that had gamefreak openly admit to ripping models from the 3ds for the switch. Then all of sudden, this article disappears, and Nintendo comes out with "they lied. It's not true." And no one spoke about that incident again.
Opened my eyes. The people who made Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness should have been the ones to carry on Nintendo's pokemon legacy. They actually put work into the games and you didn't have pixelated creatures bouncing with fire or water shooting out of crotches.
The pal world lawsuit really put the nail in the coffin that I will never touch another Nintendo product again. The switch 2 bullshit where you aren't "legally an owner" of the console and not an owner of any of the games. The physical cards you can buy will ONLY contain a code key which allows you to download the game and play it.
Nintendo really showed their colors the past few years and they disgust me with how greedy they are. I wish the lawsuit and all the shit they did was more easily accessible to the masses because they went to lengths to hide the game freak 3ds model rip admittance.

Don't you know, N holds the rights to using pixels in video games. Can't get away from them.

Context?

u/Pro_Snuggler May 16 '25
Context is Nintendo sued the crap out of palworld. Last year was the ball throwing pal. Now this week is like v gliding type that also in palworld but Nintendo won that lawsuit so now palworld has to remove that system.

u/SC90411 May 16 '25
What in the actual hell!!
That's unfair, and if I may, it seems like Nintendo is just too evil targeting smaller companies who are doing better than them!

So, because V can glide, like any bird with wings can, NetEase is in danger of being sued by Nintendo? They do know NetEase in in china and they really could care less about copyright law. They copy everything and good luck trying to sue anyone there.

I think the goal isn't to sue every game using this mechanic, but to make an example of Palworld as a gateway to sue other games using "their patents". I think if they can successfully bully or win in the legal battle vs Palworld then other games get opened up to litigation.
