Except they didn't steal designs and I'm pretty sure art direction can't be protected. Even if it could, it would be morally questionable at best. The whole lawsuit also isn't about that but about some really fringe patents on Nintendo's part. Patents that Nintendo certainly didn't come up with, shouldn't have and last but not least threaten smaller studios in the game industry. Since Pocketpal teamed up with Sony, I don't consider them indie anymore but it's true that they have to win this lawsuit for indie devs regardless. If Nintendo gets away with this you can say farewell to smaller game studios in Japan.

Which perfectly exposes the problems of showing AI slob to people who try to learn and extend their horizons.
On one hand that's catastrophic and an insult to the art world and art history. On the other hand it's unsurprising. Does anyone expect google to show relevant top results in this day and age?
I can't think of a way for this to be legal in the EU by any capacity. I really don't. They're essentially claiming they own your likeness just by using their app and I really doubt it's that simple. It's kind of like asking for your first born in a readme.txt of a github script. Just because you write something ridiculous doesn't mean it's legal.
That's definitely just a spin-off. It's an entirely different genre of game and was never intended to be sequel. Same goes for the choose-your-own-adventure one.
And it's definitely worth the money! Just odd. I fully expected them to develop Minecraft 2 and 3 years ago to cash in and overwork some of the basics but that didn't happen for better or worse, but probably better. It remains to be a truly unique game till this day.
Minecraft is also the only base game I know with a retail price that keeps going up instead of down. Quite bizarre if you think about it.
Not "if" but "when". They have you and million others on the hook and already plan their next step to extract more money from you.
The article could be from 2022 and I'd be as unsurprised as I am now.
I'm doubtful of their GaaS promise after they already added premium skins to the game via twitch drops last month. Time will tell, but I know the gaming industry a little too well to just take their word for it.
I got premium
Don't expect things to improve after happily paying consecutive ransoms.

I think you got something mixed up there. The saying does not go:

And China really sells the cheapest crap there is. It isn't even a competition.
