Regarding the lawsuit, changes to Palworld and the future | 株式会社ポケットペア

On November 30th, 2024, we released Patch v0.3.11 for Palworld. This patch removed the ability to summon Pals by throwing Pal Spheres and instead changed it to a static summon next to the player. Several other game mechanics were also changed with this patch. As many have speculated, these changes were indeed a result of the ongoing litigation.

Furthermore, we regret to inform our players that with the implementation of Patch v0.5.5, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

    So you gave a negative review to a game that’s more or less forced to make changes because of a different shitty company?

      I put a negative review for a company making their game worse, because that’s what they did.

      The fact that they did it without a court decision saying “yes defo in the wrong here” didn’t help the decision making process. Especially when it’s clear that the patents are under selective enforcement.

      I am firm in my decision, a game as big as palworld was, just bending over backwards to a patent bully like Nintendo doesn’t deserve a good review, and nobody is going to change my mindset on that.

      When the court hearing is decided, and if it’s decided palworld isn’t in violation, and they change the mechanics back again, I’ll fix my review, until then my experience with the game was dampened so therefore the review stays.
