    And, somehow, fucking won. They forced Palworld to remove the ball throwing mechanic.

    It’s fucking stupid.

      No, they haven’t won a single patent case yet. And there’s still ball throwing in the game, but only for captures. The summoning via ball throwing was removed so that Nintendo couldn’t file an injuction against Pocketpair to stop their sales during the case.

      If Pocketpair wins the court cases, they can undo the removals.

        Oh gotcha. I thought I read the won the patent in Japan or something so that’s why it was removed.

        Good to hear they are still fighting it.
