    The issue is game mechanics, not the game. If a games mechanic that existed as prior are can’t be used, then neither should they be able to sue about it.

    Counter-Strike being the most popular PC game in the planet must be a figment of my own imagination, then.

      Can’t believe Valve didn’t make real game. CS, TF2, DOTA2, all fake.

      Perfect example. So many half life mods alone spawned stand alone games. Not to mention others created elsewhere. It’s kind of offensive that they are saying they’re not games

    Every day I am more convinced that someone made a wish to the monkey paw for Nintendo to do something about Palworld, and now we are where we are.

      Yeah at the beginning Nintendo weren’t doing anything despite people complaining about Pal World which I don’t really get why they would do such a thing.

      I truly don’t understand why anyone gave a fuck about Nintendo caring about Palworld.

    So if someone created a mod for palworld that put Pokemon in the game that would be fine?

      Of course not, then it would be a game infringing on their IP. That’s just common sense.

    a videogame isn’t a big mod out of an engine? Like, GTA V, is a mod of RAGE engine?
