oh I was never really desiring 3D pokémon in the first place so I suppose that coincides with my misunderstanding

Cassette Beasts? TemTem? Digimon? Saying no attempts to fill it were made is disgenuine

Enshittification marches on

What I mean is no one talks about Hogwarts Legacy anymore. People talk about Assassin’s Creed, God of War, old Mario Games, Even older Harry Potter games but Hogwarts legacy I don’t see popping up on conversation anymore

Kinda. Honestly I never got too deeply invested into Hogwarts Legacy but I found that games that surge THIS hard in popularity tend to be forgotten fast. Esp when their main source of attention is controversy

Wonder how long that is going to last. Remember when Hogwarts legacy used to be a top played game?

Piracy is ALWAYS morally correct!

They’re being shady. Remember the lead of Pocketpair also owns a cryptocurrency exchange (Aka, a massive damn scam)

He’s going to run away with the money

It’s worse because this particular company has a habit of doing a bunch of unfinished games. Palworld, Craftopia and Never grave are all by the same company. They’re all also unfinished.

Pocketpair is also 100% not an indie company as the head of Pocketpair is already a Businessman who owns an exchange for cryptocurrency

It’s exclusive to PC and XBox just FYI. They have a contract going on with Microsoft that forbids them from releasing to other platforms.

Considering that Pocketpair can’t even seem to be able to finish their other (highly plagiarised) games “Never Grave” and “Craftopia”, I’m not spending a single cent until they actually finish it.

Why are we holding big corpos accountable for selling unfinished games that later get patched with free DLC, but then allow a faux indie company (The CEO of Pocketpair actually is a businessman who owns a crypto exchange. So not at all an indie company) to do the same for the same price as the whole ark survivor bundle?

Lmao you clearly haven’t played Ark.

Seriously “#1 sold game on steam in 2024” ah yes, because that’s a good metric when it’s been only one month and the biggest titles have a tendency to drop in December

And dwarves fortress

(FYI, by raw numbers Minecraft is still the #1 popular game. Not relevant to the discussion but a neat statistic. It’s kind of mind boggling how popular that stupid block game is)

Palworld gameplay isn’t even remotely similar to Pokemon. Its basically Ark Survival that just so happens to have plagiarised pokemon designs instead of dinosaurs.

I kinda wish they didn’t go such overt plagiarism in terms of design because then Palworld could be a nice game on its own

Not a Nintendo game

Your teaching professor likely misinterpreted the fair use doctrine’s wording. Apparently this is a common mistake. I made sure to look this up.
