There's no proper word to describe just how cultish and odious Nintendo fanboys are. There's a weird game of telephone going on because I've seen people accusing Palworld of being made with AIs or stealing from artists when it's not and at worst they are obvious parodies of pokeymans.
>>33211Yeah this is a lot like coming out to defend Disney when somebody makes a new adaptation of an old fairy tale because people think Disney invented it.
>>33209He would but it turns out that it turns out that it turns out that it turns out that it turns out that
>>33223What I'm asking myself now is: just how much does Nintendo screw over its audience? Is Switch Online backlog just as shitty? The hardware, game store and netplay sure are shitty still, Steam Deck is still way better. And if netplay is shit then why would anyone even play Ultimate or Splatoon 3 online? Why play Ultimate when you can play Project M which is even more fun mechanically? Or if you don't care about Ultimate then there's Rivals of Aether. And
WHY did they get rid of Miis? Everything that Nintendo provides other than games is inferior and yet people keep bringing them money. Switch is basically a singleplayer indie game system now.
It feels like not only their copyright policy is getting worse, it's also the products they're offering that are getting worse. I'm thinking to myself: why do people support this? Why do people give them money? Is what they're offering really worth the price? What has Nintendo ever done for us?
>>33224If you have actually played Palworld you would realize it's brazen to the point of being a middle finger to the idea of having an original idea.
I don't care about IP at all. I think, though, that we should encourage people to be creative and create new things. This seems to be something people in general want to happen, and I'm not alone here. But this is an example of an aggressive rebuke of that concept. These guys just want to cash in on trends and secure a bag. Its not an example of people loving games making games, or something like that.
>>33240>they wouldn't just be arguing with a strawman they made up in their head…. right?Nope. I searched for "nintendo should sue" and got these in the first page.
<Tbh, they should sue over designs, who cares about the game everyone can reimagine It in their on way, but designs? Fuck that shit, your stealing artists work and if you can do that with fucking Nintendo Imagine doing that with a small companyhttps://nitter.net/lorr209/status/1749876313278538111#m<They're blatant rip-offs and Nintendo should sue hard.<I can't play a game, let alone respect it, when it pulls shit like this.https://nitter.net/mikestinctively/status/1749587744521912434<I'm genuinely really hyped to see Nintendo sue palworld into utter oblivion. Copyright law is misused so much it's nice when you occasionally get to watch it work the way it should.https://nitter.net/mute__spectre/status/1749565463758291323#mIt was even worse at first, now you'll mostly see people making fun of them.
>>33245I said popular tweets
>>33229 the people in this topic are acting like this is a serious thing a decent number of people think
>>33246Ok let me see how many people said people said Nintendo should sue over this
>>33185>>33215Well that's at least two and many more posts saying that people are 'defending IP' even though I see no evidence of that either
>>33247lmfao defending ip is even broader than "wanting nintendo to sue" so yeah, you can bet your ass even more people are doing that too
https://nitter.net/lglizard/status/1748845140658024816#mwhole twitter thread with almost 5k retweets. this not popular enough for you princess?
>>33247The first post is talking about the general attitude people have for derivative creations, and the second is specifically refers to nintendo themselves taking legal action over their properties. No one's saying that nintendo fans are calling for nintendo to do something about pokemon with guns+ark survival evolved.
>posts saying that people are 'defending IP'I'd say conflating knock off designs with plagiarism, among other things, and how "something" needs to be done to protect artists and artistic integrity is in that realm, yes.
>>33248Most of the comments are criticizing them.
Yet another "controversial opinion"constructed as a bait topic by twitter wierdos. I'm going to ignore it.
>>33231you can take out a gun and shoot the pokemon.
that's kind of different.
>>33276Holy shit, the obsession people have with this franchise wtf? Even I don't drool over Sonic that much. I still don't understand Pokememe, the only thing I care about related to it is porn. SMT looks way cooler.
It's just… It's just a video game… Like… who cares?
>>33309you can easily tell by how the characters, monsters and the environment don't look like they have a cohesive style
characters look like they're from fortnite
you have the obvious pokemon knockoffs
and the environment has this high-res realism look like it's a pre-made asset in unreal or some shit
>>33310that's literally not what an asset flip is.
Every game uses free assets, every single one. The grass is probably a default asset from the unreal store.
Saying "this looks bad" doesn't mean the game is an asset flip.
>An asset flip is a type of shovelware in which a video game developer purchases pre-made assets and uses them to create numerous permutations of generic games to sell at low prices.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flipIf you can find another game that is coded exactly like Palworld but with different assets, then you would be right to call it an asset flip. otherwise, you're just hoping on the "lets shit on this indie dev" train that's all over corporate cocksucking twitter.
>>33314>An asset flip is a type of shovelware in which a video game developer purchases pre-made assets and uses them to create numerous permutations of generic games to sell at low prices.yes, that is palworld
also defending indie devs because they're indie is retarded
>>33185>All pastiche is now AI or plagiarismBased. In reality these "creative workers" produce trash commodities that indistinguishable from that of a soulless bot or lying hackfraud.
>>33214>Just play it and you'll see that it's a timewaster that is self-consciously mashing together every contemporary trend in gaming and could be AI-generated.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Work_of_Art_in_the_Age_of_Mechanical_Reproduction>>33273>I don't really give a fuck about how "creative" or "innovative" a game is, I only care about how fun it is, and so do 90% of consumers.<consumersNeoliberal NPC dialog, typical degenerate gamer
>>33339That post was being sarcastic you dumb autist.
>Neoliberal NPC dialog, typical degenerate gamerYou need to go back!
>>33391Open world survival crafting never really tickled me. Except Terraria, which had a groovy soundtrack, and even then, I haven't even broken 60 hours in it.
What's this "controversy" really about? People mad that a parody is flexing on the original?
>>33571 (me)
My policy is: play what you want on a console that you like from a company that you like. It is not "voting with your wallet," I just don't see any point of caring about what the companies you don't like do, it's all the Spectacle. It's like with SJWs: you're pissed off and upset at first but then you realize none of this shit actually matters. Nintendo is just one of many companies who act like this, and throwing your fists in the air in frustration will do absolutely nothing.

https://biz-journal.jp/2023/08/post_358805.html>"The average new employee retention rate is about 70%, so 3% of new graduate employees will quit within 3 years。So I think 98.8% of Nintendo is a staggering number。98.8 vs 70 is 41% higher retention, or 96% lower loss.
>>33595I mean TBF Freedom Planet isn't IP infringement and no court would rule it so just because it's 'Sonic inspired'.
vid unrelated
>>33601 (me)
btw, you could've just pirated the PC version.
>>33600idk about 5-6 years at that time
>>33603It has denuvo and wasn't cracked.
>>33605Yeah my pc's about that old and i can't run anything newer than sword/shield. I need to upgrade but I'm low income and honestly just don't care enough about any new switch releases to bother.
Somewhat related but i was on Facebook (i know i know) and saw a post on this topic and one of the top comments was no joke basically saying Nintendo can release whatever and the people will buy it so stop complaining because that will never change. Imagine admitting that to yourself, out loud, and still thinking you have standards let alone principles. I'm not anti-consoomer but my god has burger consumer culture broken these people's brains. As if they'll keel over dead if they don't get the flashy new product everyone's talking about.
>>33739well staying power is irrelevant to how good a game is unless youre one of those braindead online morons who want every single little thing to have a "fandom" lmao
also almost no game or media in general has staying power this past decade. new popular things come and go thanks to the breakneck speed of information under social media
>>37108Patent infringement
Wonder what patents specifically
