Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

Third parties have been doing this for years. On the switch alone this is how 2K has been doing most of their releases. Activision has done this with multiple CoD entries, where the disc only has a few hundred kilobytes of data on it directing your system to download the game. Other companies have done this too on Xbox and Playstation.

Re: The Pokémon Company Releases Official Statement About Palworld

Xenochimp

I have been playing Palworld since last Friday. The game is a blast, and outside of the capture mechanics it is an extremely different gameplay experience. If the Palworld developers did lift assets (there are a few extremely similar creature designs) then TPC should do what they need to to protect their property.

Unfortunately I am finding the Palworld community to be extremely toxic. The Palworld reddit is full of people attacking Pokémon, which fine that is their preference, but then going as far as saying they hope palworld did steal Pokémon assets and that TPC has no right to defend their property. They are hoping palworld succeeds in stealing assets to force Nintendo to change Pokémon games. They also whine constantly about being victims of constant attacks by Pokémon fans, yet I have not seen a single one if these attacks.

Palworld is great, but Holy crap the fanbases is a bunch of whiny babies that are hoping a company gets away with illegal tactics (if they happened, that will be up to any courts that get involved to decide)
