I don't really care too much about Palworld, but as an artist I don't like that they took designs from Pokémon and changed a few things, then called it a Pal. I'm no fangirl for Pokémon, but I'm not a fan of plagiarism either.
Though the hate isn't justified. I dislike the game, but I wouldn't say I hate it to the extent I want the developers sued. Those people need to grow up.
I agree. Although I'm okay with the lawsuit after I saw Moon Channel's video about it. Supposedly Palworld is exempt from its plagiarism because it technically counts as a parody which is protected in both the US and Japan. And Nintendo wasn't interested in suing Palworld, until Sony partnered with them to create an new Pokemon style company.
Plus the more I learn about Palworld's creators, the less I trust them.
For one, the studio has four games in early access, and none of them are close to being finished. With Sony buying Palworld I would imagine that they would want the game to be finished at least, instead of abandoning it.
The studio head has also talked about how coming up with new ideas is difficult and that he would rather just copy what's popular. Which I at least give him credit for his honesty.
