Is Palworld shutting down?

[Dark]

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

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.

What use of AI?

There's 0 evidence, the dude was just making stuff up.

They basically think that Pocketpair is feeding pokemon creature designs into LLMs (large language models - tools like chatGPT that people are calling "AI" at the moment) to generate fakemons and bypass copyright. Given the game has been in development since 2021, and the slander originated from a poster also making baseless claims that Pocketpair are somehow involved in crypto/NFTs (which, from a cursory search engine prompt, has shown exactly zero relevant answers), I'm inclined to think that this is just a bunch of paid shills throwing any ♥♥♥♥ they can find at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Shocking what furries can do when they put their minds to it

Oh yes, the good old "a friend told me" argument.

Really? My uncle works at Steam and he told me there's nothing to worry about. :lunar2019deadpanpig: Are you 12 years old? :lunar2019laughingpig:

Well, i'm not using it the way alot of other people do. This one actually knows alot of tihings, you can come back to this thread on the 27th if you'd like? You will see that i was right about it.

I'm also saying you shouldn't be extremely worried. but it will be shut down for at least a little while until Steam has reviewed it again, and then there is indeed a 30-45% chance it will stay gone.

And if you don't believe the part with the friend, then you still have the official guidelines and a developer which is actively avoiding every question about it.

Here's a tip... when you troll at least make it believable. If you think using AI is going to have a title removed, you need to look around m8. Everything is being created by AI, Videos/Pictures/Content/Games/Drugs AI will be used for everything. Shut down? you need ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shut down.

Personally I think, if Nintendo can find anything that just resembles a pokemon in one of the designs of the videos, then they will sue. The question is if they can or can´t find that evidence.

Personally I don´t care to much, this is just another Valheim, they popup now and then and they do give people that like to play MP survival sandbox games with friends some fun.
So that is great for those that want it and it does seem to deliver fun to people..

On the other hand, there is literally 0 evidence that they didnt use ai.

The lead developer is known for being a huge ai fan, and they also used it in their previous game.

You don't need to prove that you didn't do something.

If they find one that resembles a pokemon, they won't sue. They'll send a politely worded threat and the devs will drop everything to retool that one instantly. The last thing the devs want is to get tangled up in a lawsuit while they're making hay.

There's no world where the magnitude of the breach is so significant that it requires the game to be taken down.

if nintendo can take down this game just because there are cartoon animals that can get caught and some of them vaguely resemble or are inspired by pokemon, then the copyright system and legal system are both a complete failure. this is not attempting to be pokemon, it is not the same genre of game as pokemon, there are similarities between some of the fictional animals, but if having similar characters was enough to sue over, every comic book in existence would be in all out copyright war.

Yeah, I should have read further down the thread to read about his 'friend at valve'.

Nintendo's Tokyo offices are literally 15 minutes away from the Palworld devs'. Anyone trying to look at this with assumptions based on the very litigious US legal system is completely missing the fact that the clocks of the legal system tick differently in Japan. Formally, yeah, fair enough, this is addressed in the RPS article, but we're not in the realm of likely infringement here. Imitation isn't illegal in the US nor in Japan.

They *did* admittedly move pretty hard and fast against an attempt to make a mod with actual Pokemon. Which is also just one more hint at the fact that Nintendo is aware, but as long as no copyrighted Pokemon characters or Pokemon trademarks are used, all is fine.
