Nintendo, ruining peoples fun since... forever.

This. Stop buying their shit due to FOMO, and make them work for your money.

One more reason to not buy Nintendo games and play them for free.

A good reminder to not buy the switch 2

It's been a good while since I played, but I thought you rode the pals to fly? How can they have a patent on riding flying things?

[-] Transtronaut 24 points 6 days ago

Riding is unaffected, it's only hang gliding that got removed. But it makes just as little sense in that context. None of this patent trolling is justifiable, Nintendo is just using the broken Japanese patent law system to crush competition from smaller companies making better games.

Especially since that's a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.

I feel like I've been using this metaphor a bit too often, but: Nintendo is shitting its pants to make Pocketpair (PalWorld dev) smell. So far, the results of the litigation have been slightly bad for Pocketpair, but really bad for Nintendo - just the sheer amount of negative publicity is likely costing Nintendo more money than it could ever get from this turf war.
