More details have come out about the palworld-nintendo lawsuit, such as which if the many arbitrary patents they "violated" and the total sum
The sum is for some $32k per violated patent , so a total of a near $100k including any fees and an injunction against further sales of the game.
The patents are r-slurred, vague and in some ways already done by games that existed before any filings.

One involves "aiming" objects in real time in a virtual space during combat and firing it, or generally firing an object in virtual space.

The second is just a 20 page Japanese document
https://patents.google.com/patent/JP7528390B2/en
The third seems to simply be RIDING CREATURES IN A VIRTUAL SPACE!
All of these patents were applied for in early 2024 and finally registered in late August, and all applied for AFTER PALWORLDS RELEASE

If this works for them won't this just nuke the entire video game industry on a legal basis
?

No because Nintendo only brings out the big guns when they get pissed. They are pissed because Sony is trying to turn palworld from just one Indie game into a whole media franchise of anime, cards, and merch. Pokemon is not the most profitable franchise in the world because of video games it's because of toys and plushies and underwear and lunchboxes and cards and notebooks and socks and all that junk.
!g*mers TLDR: Sony is trying to turn palworld into a true Pokemon rival with all the anime and merch, but Nintendo thinks they are entitled to a monopoly so they are using shady legal tactics to nip it in the bud before Sony can develop it.

and with the financial backing of Sony and Aniplex (ever wonder why palworld ads have such good animation) they will be able to make anime to rival Pokemon's and heavily merchandise. This is why Nintendo has only gone after palworld and not other poke-likes: it's actively a threat to their real business model. If a kid thinks the palworld socks look cooler then Pokemon socks that's way more dangerous to their monopoly then just being an indie game.

I'm still surprised that they never sued anyone on that z-targeting patent.
I suppose that it would only frick them over. They're the only ones that always insist on having really shitty second sticks (or just DEDICATED CAMERA BUTTONS

Pokemon has always been easy and for children, the newer games just removed the 8 hours you'd have to spend mindlessly grinding in tall grass. Death to JRPGcels, Atlus is the only developer that doesn't intentionally go out of their way to waste the player's time.

I swear JRPGs embrace menu-based gameplay where you spend more time navigating menus and watching animations play out than you do actually playing the darn game.
I still have no idea why they're as popular as they are. They all look so obscenely boring.

If nintendo actually uses the shit they patented, then it's not patent trolling. I know this is a hard concept for g*mers to grasp, but the world doesn't revolve around whatever indie developer you decided is your waifu.

These dudes will do anything besides make a cool pokemon game. I mean really, a 1v1 turn-based jrpg was already played out even in 1997 when the first pokemon came out. But we let it slide because it was on Gameboy. These dudes are STILL using this gameplay mechanic in 2024. All they have to do is copy the gameplay of a No No Kuni or a Dragon Age Origins and it would sell 78 billion copies. BUT THEY CANT FRICKING DO IT. And now they would just rather sue anybody who tries to fill the void that they should have filled 20 years ago.
