The japan case against palworld is only $66k damages? That’s hardly going to be an issue for the game given it made millions, Nintendo must be after something else? Precedent? Or perhaps just scaring others to not do any similarly themed pocket monster games that tread in their territory?
You’re actually correct here. Because a couple months before the suit dropped, Pocketpair and Sony announced that they officially have a partnership with eachother, the same kind of partnership Nintendo and Gamefreak have with eachother.
So the best way to think of this is it’s Nintendo vs Sony rather than Nintendo vs Pocketpair. And Nintendo and Sony have a lot of bad blood between eachother.
Realistically Nintendo wants Sony to seriously change course about how they advertise and market Palworld.
