They have been for a long time now. They’re only going to keep getting worse until someone or something stops them, and I can’t see what that would be.
I think we should support game development designed around “infringing” on some of their bullshit patents. I love Pokemon and they’re doing fuck-all with the franchise, so I’d love to see more indie devs’ takes on the concept. Have you seen all the really cool “fakemon” that have existed for decades on Deviant Art?
Coromon seems pretty similar, I only played a small portion so far though
Oh there’s more than just on DeviantArt, fan games like Pokémon Uranium are full of fakemons that can rival anything Nintendo is putting out.
Yeah, but that’s actual copyright infringement. I want more Palworlds and Cassette Beasts and Monster Sanctuaries, and I want them to be really blatant about things like summoning your monsters to ride them.
I just discovered the FOSS pokemon called tuxemon. https://tuxemon.org/
I just hope someone takes Nintendo to court over that latest bogus patent so it can get thrown out.
Romhacks are not copyright infringement if you don’t distribute the ROMs. They only distribute patch files and users need to acquire the ROMs through legal backups of their own copies of the original games. It is not illegal to patch software, and it is not illegal to distribute a detailed list of all the things you’d change about a copyrighted work in order to make it into something else.
