Is Palworld shutting down?

[Dark]

I'm kinda nervous about what Nintendo will do about this game

[Dustreaper]

They are not going to do anything.

[The Unknown]

If they didn't go after them already they won't. There's also no reason for them to actually go after them and if they wanted they could have dmca'd the game and valve would delist it, which hasn't happened.

[Kyutaru]

The Nintendo fanboys did the same thing with Temtem, which is an ACTUAL pokemon clone complete with turn-based battles against gym leaders and an evil organization.

Nothing happened there either.

This game was in developement for at least three years and also first screenshots are from this time, this game is now out for nearly a week (1.5 days or so until a week), if they wanted / could, the most probably would already have done it. And while it isn't impossible that Nintendo still will do something, I don't think they will and even when, it's most probably about some pal designs and in the worst case they must change those.

[Dustreaper]

There is so much misinformation going around. Like ai generated it's not at all there is like 0 proof for it so many lies are spreading this is why social media just sucks most of what is on social media is a lie on way or another.

[Ink Hyaena]

From what I heard, Nintendo DID approach them in the beginning but approved of all pals but 3. Those ones needed changed or taken out because they were too close to actual Pokemon. Regardless if that's true or not, if there's been no issue before, there won't be now.

There are a ton of pokemon ripoffs and nothing has happened to them. This would never had made it to market if it was a problem. There is a legal process that games have to go through before they are released. As said above, nintendo would have been all over this already. Pokemon fanboys are just trying to build a big salty nothing burger.

[Dreamer Zetsuna the Sleepy]

not how it works...

[timecop]

Palworld is backed by MS. Nintendo don't have guts to go against daddy MS.

[Vespertellino]

Nothing

Hey, maybe you should not pay attention to the trolls and enjoy the game instead.
The devs followed all the rules in their country and Nintendo did not complain when it had opportunity to do so. Maybe read the comments from the owner of the company instead of whatever source of misinformation you're relying on.

All what they do it strike the Pokemon mod for palworld, but can't do something to game

[I have quit gaming]

Yes it will get shut down at least temporary on the 27th of this month.

They have forgotten / did not notify Steam about the usage of ai, which has to be done in the submitting process. Steam can either remove the game forever, or make an exception.

Steam will review the usage of ai and if it turns out it is against the TOS everyone will lose access to the game. Which seems a 30-40% chance.

So no need to get extremely worried, but you shouldn't be without any worries either.

it doesn't work like that. it may have characters inspired by Pokemon ( Pokemon itself has some characters inspired from Dragon quest). but its not the exact copy of the game, Nintendo cant do ♥♥♥♥.

Nintendo cant do anything no pal is 1:1 pokemon just similar art stile ... take any animal from any anime make 3d model of it it will look like pokemon :D
