Valve should remove Creature Collector tags!

[Hayatemaru]

Nintendo owns the monster-collecting concept. Pokémon is the only game that should allow players to catch and collect monsters... no other company should make a game about collecting and battling monsters bigger than Pokémon, and it should only be released on Nintendo consoles! Also, please remove all games on Steam that allow players to ride monsters they’ve collected.

It's sarcasm. Nintendo is suing the makers of Palworld now over Patent infringements. Patents that they didn't make until middle of the year after Palword's release, and finally approved this month for some stupid reason.

Last I checked, even in Japan, you cannot patent game mechanics. Yet Nintendo bought their way into it.

You can actually patent game mechanics and methods of implementing those mechanics. Now whether those patents would survive contestation in Japanese courts or US courts, or any other country's courts, is another thing, but I've translated quite a few such patents in my time for them to be submitted to US patent offices (after being submitted in Japan).

The issue they have is the ball capturing mechanic and they made this patent in 2021 but it was only given to them in 2023.

Because both companies are in Japan that's why they can go after them as the laws there are a lot different elsewhere plus they still have not been given that patent in the US yet.
