    Nintendo was able to sue palworld using a patent that didn’t exist before palworlds release. It’s not right, but they can do whatever they want regardless of what the law says.

      They were able to do that because Palworld is made by Japanese devs, and they used specifically Japanese patent law. Doesn’t apply here.

      That’s not the lawsuit that’s being discussed. It’s the Yuzu Switch emulator lawsuit.

        yeah, i know. Point is that Nintendo can do whatever they want with the flimsyest excuse.
