I wonder if PocketPair (Palworld devs) could flip a giant middle finger to Japan’s entire system by refunding all Japanese customers for the game and refusing to sell it in Japan anymore. Japan is the only country where Nintendo could get their way in a patent lawsuit, so fuck 'em

Wouldn’t work. This has nothing to do with Japanese customers or Japanese laws. These aren’t even in Japanese courts. It’s US patents.
Nintendo’s patents, or the single one i should say, wouldn’t hold up or even apply to palworld in America, they will in Japan.
Nintendo, a Japanese company in Kyoto, using American courts to stop Pocketpair, a Japanese indie studio in Tokyo, from selling Pal world.
What the hell.
