    god I don’t even care for Palworld, it’s just clearly not a game for me, but if their spat with Nintendo ultimately ends with Nintendo losing a bunch of their bullshit patents I will buy a copy to sit in my library untouched

    Instead of letting Palworld do its thing, Nintendo decided to fuck around, they are now finding out.

    Good. The fact patents exists on game mechanics seriously ruins gaming.

      Software patents in general just slow down human progress. I could say the same about the patent and copyright system in general.

      Also capitalism.

        Do you mean to tell me that IP law exists only to gatekeep ideas and funnel wealth into an ever-shrinking number of hands? And maybe that the execution of those ideas is more important? You might be on to something…

    It seems like the opportunity to use this image comes up nearly daily lately:

    Sounds like it’s about time for the new NoA president to attend one of Trump’s million-dollar dinners.
