Pocketpair turned off the ability to glide with your Pals in the latest Palworld update the latest change that comes as part of Nintendo's lawsuit against them.
The most worrying part about this to me, is that if Nintendo wins this lawsuit, they might start going after other games for “similar” mechanics.
Enjoy a game where your character jumps? Oops, Mario does that.
Like swinging a sword around? Green Tunic Twink Boy has that covered.
I’m being hyperbolic of course, but once the door is open for this sort of thing, I think it will become much, much more common. Indie games are the only real threat to the big AAA companies, and the only real reason they don’t charge $200 a game, but if they can sue any indy company into bankruptcy, they’ll have no challenges to their overpriced slop.
