Nintendo sitting on a dragon's hoard of patents that let them legally blip competition out of existence whenever they feel like is making me hate the company even more than I did previously. And I've had issues with Nintendo going back decades. I remember the EU price fixing. https://t.co/pYWr19GseJ
Daily reminder that game design patents are fucking stupid even when they're being used against a company you hate https://t.co/MCTFKD5Lup
UPDATE: Pocketpair has issued a statement about the situation, acknowledging the lawsuit and saying it's "not been notified" of which patents it's accused of having infringed https://t.co/RNAHivMFtU
Microsoft, Nintendo, Activision Blizzard, Roblox, and other companies in the video game industry have moved to dismiss a lawsuit alleging they intentionally got users addicted to their games for profit on Tuesday. Nintendo, which has a history of legal actions, filed the lawsuit after a careful investigation but refrained from commenting on the specifics. Pocketpair, one of the companies involved, acknowledged the lawsuit and stated that it had not been notified of the specific patents it is accused of infringing. The legal proceedings are expected to take years, similar to a previous case Nintendo won against Colopl in 2021.
