  • Why is everyone here pretending like palworld isn’t a straight up Pokemon clone that went a bit too close with the designs? I mean the game was basically marketed as pokemon with guns. I know you guys have this new hate for Nintendo, but this isn’t even them.

    Because it doesn’t matter. Palworld isn’t getting sued for copyright infringement, it is being sued for patent infringement.

    If I made a game about an Italian contractor with a red hat and mustache that fights mushroom people and turtles, you guys would defend it and claim it isn’t a copyright issue lol

    Again, Nintendo isn’t suing for copyright infringement, but for patent infringement. It’s more like Nintendo suing Monster Hunter Stories for allowing you to ride your monsters (this is literally one of the patents Pal World is getting sued for).




  • I think you might be underselling how important things like the steam workshop and steam’s multiplayer support are.

    Games like Starbound or Don’t Starve benefit a lot from the workshop.

    While insert any party game gains a lot out of steam’s multiplayer support and friend list.

    Also, while I don’t use Linux myself, Steam is one of the main reasons why Linux Gaming is a thing.




  • Imagine caring as a value, for example, my care™ about this topic is 2, whereas yours is 5.

    In this interpretation, “I don’t care” implies that the care™ value of the speaker is 0, by the same logic, saying “I care” implies that their care™ value is greater than 0.

    With that in mind, “I could care less” implies there is a care™ value lower than the one they currently hold. Meanwhile, “I couldn’t care less” implies the opposite, there is no care™ value lower, which is only true for 0 (AKA “I don’t care”).
