Which is stupid because patents don’t belong in games, but fanboys gonna do

The majority of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games are founded almost entirely on their technological innovation, so why in the world wouldn't patents, which protect technological innovations, apply to games

Because the patents in question are super generic in nature.

I believe one of them had to do with throwing stuff (like pokeballs for example) which is incredibly generic and most likely used in other monster catching games in addition to Palworld.

It’s also notable that some of these patents were not even applied for until AFTER Palworld existed.

And that these game concepts existed BEFORE Pokemon did.

It wasn't Nintendo's innovation in the first place.
