lik, they dont have a monopoly over monster-catching as a game-mechanic. and the rip-offs i saw arent even rly that bad tbph. if anything, its pokeymans problem for having over 9000 mons made by dozens of diff artists. some guy making lik 100 mons where a handful look kinda similar to a few of those 9000 pokeymans prolly isnt infringing on shit.
weird thing to do now too. i thought that meme had sailed a long time ago and no one was even playing it anymore. i havent even heard about it since it came out
i guess they just wanna bury them in legal fees so they cant put out another game ever again
No.7787

>>7787>The thing I find strange is that they sue these guys but never bothered with any of the other knock-offs that existed prolly just lack of confidence in their modern product. big pikachu, being the large international corporate entity that it is now, is averse to risk. and direct competition is a huge risk. so SHUT IT DOWN
its funny to think about, but the game series literally peaked in popularity with RBY. no single gen tops it. they may be the biggest IP ever, but vidya-wise its been more or less a slow roll downhill ever since
an out of date pic by now, but it shows why theyre worried
sword/shield and scarlet/violet sold respectable numbers compared to the first games, but didnt top it. and thats on a well-established system with a huge userbase in an era where even ppls grandmas play vidya. if you compare ACTUAL smash-hit games on switch like BotW, their numbers arent what youd expect. especially not when considering were talking the largest series in entertainment history.

No.7805
>>7795>Yeah, Pokemon Company* is just jealous that someone took their idea and did it better.Because the #1 fan criticism for a decade has been asking Gamefreak to hire more devs and Gamefreak saying "no that means less money for each of us."
The #2 criticism was "spend more time on your games instead of releasing something every year" to which their response was also "no, we don't make as much money if we take time to bugtest." They're a team of niggers who learned how to program for the Gameboy and have never learned a new trick since, but they have a legal monopoly contract on the games so The Pokemon Company can't tell them to get their shit together.
If someone does their idea but better it means they have to choose between hiring people but not making millions of dollars each, or retiring because it's not profitable enough any more, because god forbid those old Jap Boomers ever learn a new trick. I hope if the lawfare gets to be too much that the Palworld devs just move in with their Kansas asset-maker and tell Nintendo to eat shit.

hard to blame em either when the numbers show they got ~8M tards who will buy the same game twice/thrice, regardless

Man, SH2 remake looks kinda bad.
Like some of the dialogue seems more realistic and better written but man some of the voice acting really sucks.
Crazy that a Western dev couldnt do better than like a two decade plus old game that was being translated and directed by a japanese guy into english.
Like SH2 didnt need a remake, it was never about its epic graffffix or intense gameplay, the game was about its atmosphere and story and its soundtrack/sound design of which it did nearly perfectly. Unless you could match that perfection, you shouldnt touch it.
No.7929
>>7928Silent Hill is one of those games where the charm comes from how it used the hardware limitations to its advantage, so it's basically impossible to achieve that in a remake. Same reason why The Twin Snakes was nowhere near as good as the OG MGS1. There's something really aesthetically pleasing about PS1 games to me, I think it's mostly because of the sound chip adding that sovlful reverb effect onto everything.

sudo yum or sudo dnf instead of apt get. you dont rly need to use terminal much though, i just lik to because it makes me feel cool.
lik budy said mint is vary wangblos-like and i remember over a decade ago it was what i put on a laptop i gave a budy because it would be easiest for him. nowadays more distros are easy to use from the get go and arent trying to so closely mimick the "feel" of willy gates puttin his locked clitty cage benis on ur shoulder.
