So far the most popular new games thus year are a relatively small extraction shooter and a survival sandbox thing cobbled together with the powers of cardboard, string and copyright infringement. We can do without giant games that appeal to everyone and are loved by no one.

Palworld copies so much from Pokemon that I'm just waiting for Nintendo to finally bring a lawsuit

I'd argue It is heavily inspired, and not copied.

The game has been in development for some years now, you can even find some early ads for It. And the lack of action by Nintendo, in all this time, tells me there's no bases for any legal action.

I've seen comparisons for all the pals and the "look alike" pokemons, and honestly, some are inspired by pokemons and some are similar just because they are based on the same animal, I haven't seen any blatant copies.
