I didn't think I could hate Nintendo more than I do already.

I almost wish I didn't know the details of this "lawsuit" now.

Well, I was thinking of finally getting a switch....think I'll pass again.

Nintendo has always been an anti-consumer company. Never forget who they were against game rentals back in the day or their licensing policies.

Nintoddler confirmed. If you hate a company you don't buy from them. You were thinking of buying a Switch and games for it. So you actually like Nintendo or you're a consumer whore.

I did grow up with the original Nintendo. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I haven't bought anything from them since the days of the original DS however so your point is null.

Imagine, just try to picture in your mind, that the US's copyright law is actually fairer than the Japanese one.
"Sir, Nintendo is whining about something.
Oh? How many jews do they have?
Uh, zero, sir. They're Japanese
What? Tell them to fuck off then."

Apparently Nintendo also tried to sue them in the US but they have been rejected.

They are not suing over copyright infringement, its over patents, and at least one of the patents that they might be trying to sue them over was only filled in the US after Palworld release. Also, what ever gave you the impression that copyright law's in Japan would be fairer?

Honestly I had that impression for a long time. There's a huge doujin (fanworks) industry over there. Aside from Nintendo/Squeenix, most people/companies seem totally cool with people making fan games, fan art, fan music, clothes, knicknacks comics and porn using their IP. It's not a minor thing, there's constantly big conventions where people sell stuff, stores you can go to buy it. And considering they still censor their porn, I don't think it's about flying under the radar.

Things are going badly when you realize the average episode of Ace Attorney is less inane than RL law cases.

The west has exactly the same stuff. You're just too much of a weeb to realize deviantart, Etsy and Instagram are the exact same culture without all the child grooming material.

Yeah? Please do find me the dozens of unlicensed Batman fangames in the west. Or brick and mortar stores selling hundreds of cover CDs of other people's music.

There's a huge difference between making shit for fun on deviantart and making a business out of selling your take on someone else's IP.

Brick and Mortar stores barely exist any more but bootleg shops in the 90s were really common. There's online places like the yetee that supports all the tranny speedrunners selling unofficial merchandise. Currently it's a sailor moon blue (Amy I think?) halloween themed shirt.

What more examples would you like?

Oh wow it's a Japanese IP. What a weird coincidence!

I'm not going to dignify that itch.io shit with a response.
Okay so here's Day of the t-shirt since you know you're wrong and won't admit it.

Doctor Who
Nightmare before Christmas
Every slasher film ever
Harry Potter
Lelo and Stitch

Shall we continue?

"Fan games don't exist like in Japan!" "Those don't count!!!"

Name a franchise and you will find unlicensed fangames for it. But you've got a rice dick up your arse so you can't see Japan isn't special and never was. It was always the US's vassal state and sucked the Jewish cock

That they still don't know what they're being sued for over a week latter says Nintendo has no actual case and only seeks to harass and punish competition for doing better.

The more they mess them around the harder it is to make a case to defend yourself. Nintendo are so much like Disney. Is there any corp more evil than the mega brands targeting children?

My impression was that those things were mostly unprofitable and the law entirely favours companies nuking everyone if they would ever feel like it.

"The Japanese judicial system is known as the “hostage justice system” which creates 99.9% conviction rate."

People/companies being "totally cool" with something =/= fairer justice system, Nintendo itself is the perfect example of it.

That's a myth.
The reason for that insane stat is that prosecution in japan usually does not start if prosecution doesn't have good evidence.
If there is good evidence then case usually ends up with plea deal.
Then 99% is for those who refuse plea deal despite good evidence and 1% where trial shown that prosecution was wrong with their evidence which is rare.
They also don't have niggers so in general population can 2+2 and in case of bad outcome they want plea deal rather than go to expensive trial.
Those plea deals are also factored into that 99% stat which is why it is so insane looking stat.

Doujin creators are not seen as indies by those in Japan. There are seen as amateurs rather than pros. If Japanese companies wanted to they could have crushed the doujin culture easily. This is why you see that Touhou creator quick to announce he is not an indie so Pocketpair doesn't speak for him when they declared they are doing it for indies in Japan.

What which angered Nintendo probably wasn't Palworld "ripping" them off, it's them signing a deal with Sony which suggests they are trying to be a competitor to Pokemon. And can you blame Nintendo for treating Pocket Pair as a competitor?
