With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

Who the hell in their right mind would want to buy a switch after seeing this?

most consumers don't care, that's why they're consumers. Switch 2 is gonna sell gangbusters and no amount of frivolous lawsuits is going to put a dent in that.

Plus you still have people mad at Palworld for no reason other than they think it "copied" Pokémon, like the guy getting downvoted into oblivion.

I won't, unless I can buy one 2nd hand AND there's a way to jailbreak it

All the nintendo boot licking neckbearded incels that you see defending the company like if its their own.

Even that group is a tiny minority. Most buyers are people who just want to play Nintendo games and don't care about anything else.

Children will, from their parents who don't see these articles or care, just that their kid is entertained.. Don't be an ass.
