All this just to plug some guy's YT video?

Can we get a TL;DW?

It's not Pocket Pair vs Nintendo. It's Sony vs. Nintendo.

I wouldn't put much stock in anything Moon Channel says, especially given the video he made regarding The Completionist. I would sooner listen to Legal Eagle, and he's not exactly reliable either.

How so? That video just popped up randomly for me, and all I can see is how he connected some important dots. If something is factual wrong I would like you to point that out.

I'm more surprised that you think anybody will be surprised by a post like this.

Next time, don't post such stupid links. Stop acting like you're actually invested in the Pocketpair vs Nintendo lawsuit. Your post and replies indicate you know nothing.

I'd rather this discussion board go back to posting about the game itself rather than the drama a multi billion dollar corporation is manufacturing.

[Makoto]

I still have no explanation what's wrong with this channel.

Legal Mindset did a much better review of the situation. In addition to that... It's a Japanese court. If it was against Sony, Nintendo would have filed explicitly against both Pocket Pair and Sony; something they didn't do. Sony cannot join in the legal battle ongoing between Nintendo and Pocket Pair without breaking japanese law. While I am no expert, I do know the basics there.

Finally, there's the fact that Nintendo are suing over a patent violation. I am FASCINATED by the fact an idiot like Moon Channel thinks Sony somehow has ANY patents relative to Pocket Pair's case in Nintendo's lawsuit, but my lack of morbid curiosity is the only thing that maintains my sanity. I'll say it again: Sony is in no way related to the lawsuit against Pocket Pair.

Thanks, but you didn't need to insult me.

I'm sure Sony has a bunch of prior art though.

He didn't.
He insulted Moon Channel.
So, unless that's your channel, you're clear.

"Hi, I'm Moony. During the day, I am an attorney who works on cases involving victims of domestic violence, victims of human trafficking, and refugees."

can u at least get a patent lawyer's opinion if you really want to get the right lawyer's opinions. also it has to be japanese patent lawyer, i think there's a few that have put out articles but they are largely just pieces on potential patent infringements.

lawyers like every other technical professions have specific fields and i don't think you are going to ask a dentist about your cold even though an md and a dentist are both doctors.

i think peeps should just think for themselves even if they are not educated in law, and just research if they have to. stop relying on utubers and or streamers, even if they are educated in the field.

The title of your post sounds like a cheap YT bait

That shouldn't have taken an hour to explain. He even goes on a rabbit trail to talk about how some lawyers turn to the dark side in the pursuit of money. Here are 2 legal words for you supposition, and filibuster. Supposition is when a lawyer goes beyond the presented evidence in order to try to convince the jury something is factual. Filibuster is when a lawyer rambles on in an attempt to make the jury forget what is, and isn't evidence. In case I was in any way unclear he did both.

The thing people here don't get about Moon Channel is the layer of cultural context he applies to literally all of his videos. Specifically in cases like this I can think of no better channel to dive into the issues due to the deeply foreign nature of the lawsuit, with context that is only really known to people who actually care.

If you watch the video without an anti-moon bias, nor a pro-moon bias, and take the info there like it has a reasonable amount of truth, then he is able to make points and connections that no other legal channel or forum has been able to represent. His point is that Nintendo is going after PPair as a way to prevent Sony from easily being able to elevate PPair and Palworld to a similar level as pokemon, which protects their domination of the hyper-marketable section of the monster catching genre.

All of his videos are long because he specifically takes time to elaborate on the historical and cultural context of certain actions because for most of the people who don't live there, much of the reasoning behind things isn't common knowledge since there's no reason for it to be. Elaborating upon the Nintendo v Sony feud helps explain why both companies repeatedly try to one-up each other, and really does have some relevance in this context.

His videos not being dry legal dissertations isn't a black mark against him, it's simply his style and the aspect he chooses to explore for all of the topics he covers. The videos he has about gacha games and gender politics are some of the most interesting things he's put out.
