To be saved by a GTA mod of all things

I low key think The Pokémon company don’t really care that much about the patent lawsuit itself and they actually just expect to find evidence of copyright infringement on Pokémon designs in discovery.

People don’t want to hear it, but mods are by default copyright infringement. Because of this, I highly doubt that a mod is going to sway the judges in PocketPair’s favour.

Reading this further, I kinda doubt that GTA mod would help them out. I mean, one is a free fan-made mod while another is a game you have to pay, y’know? Then again, I have no legal experience so maybe I am missing something.

there’s a reason why Palworld didn’t get nominated for ANYTHING at the Game Awards.
Palworld is literally Unreal Test Map 5 with lazily designed Pokémon clones to cash in on the popularity of Ark and Pokémon (Mainly the hatred of Scarlet and Violet)
Remove the Pokemon stuff and the game would literally not have a leg to stand on compared to dozens of other Early Access Survival Games released.
