Pocketpair, the developer of the popular survival game Palworld, has confirmed making changes to its game due to a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Nintendo last year. These alterations, impacting gameplay features and mechanics, are a direct response to allegations of intellectual property infringement brought forward by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company.
According to Pocketpair, these modifications were “necessary” to mitigate potential disruptions to Palworld’s ongoing development and distribution. The company aims to prevent further degradation of the game’s overall experience by proactively addressing the concerns raised in the lawsuit. While specific details of the alterations remain undisclosed, the changes indicate a willingness to adapt Palworld to avoid further legal complications and ensure its continued availability. This patch signifies Pocketpair’s commitment to navigating the legal challenges while maintaining the gameplay experience for its player base.
