I think they have to do this. Plans were in the works, and other companies will have their own deals with Pocketpair that can't wait around for however long the lawsuit with Nintendo takes.

Funnily, Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Palworld have both sold about 15 million copies each, except the former released in 2022 in contrast to the latter which released early this year. Palworld is also still early access on Steam, there might be a sales spike when they release v.1.00.

There's almost never a spike when an early access launches into 1.0. It's usually barely even noticed.

it was never a question if you know how patent infringements work.

worst case they would pay to use it or re-work w/e patent was issue and life carries on.

also I do see it as more ark than pokemon as you dont need to use the pals..you can go 100% only guns and melee while using pal mount just to soak damage taken.

Yeah... set palworld aside for a second: games rarely see a boost in visibility or sales after leaving early access. It's usually from that game leaving early access and then going multiplatform, like when Hades announced a Switch release alongside the full release of the game.

That assumes Nintendo will let them license the tech
