The whole Palworld lawsuit is a perfect illustration that the Big N needs to start making when choices for dealing with competition. Instead of trying to sue Palworld they shouod have out done them! Palworld is pokemon + Survival, resource gathering, base building, crafting etc. Why didn't Nintendo just make "Pokémon: Survive" same concept but actually Pokemon? Instead of trying to destory the competition in the courts destory them in the market!
Some fan makes a super popular mod or fan game? Don't demand cease and desist, Aquire and Monotize! Buy it off them and sell it!
