This. Nintendo went so far to try patenting relative physics in games (I think that one failed, but they do hold a patent for throwing balls at someone to catch them). And if you wonder why you never see smaller round menus in games for conversation selection (but mostly a rather clunky list instead), that patent is held by EA or Bioware due to Mass Effecr. For a fucking circular conversation menu.
I can’t eat as much as I want to vomit. This whole system is just perverted to the core and completely stifles both culture AND economy. They just register all this shit because patent trolling is also a business to them. It’s both profitable and weaponizable.
Nintendo forced palworld to remove flying creature riding, they have the power (at least in Japan) to remove riding flying creatures in any game. Pokemon wasn’t even close to being the first game to implement something like that
I hate them more than average because they e.g. abuse their patent “rights” to the max, more than other companies.

I love that every german says “Ich kann nicht so viel fressen wie ich kotzen will”
