    I’m not a Nintendo fan, but:

    1. Palworld fans are toxic as fuck. Not nearly as bad as sending death threats, instead more like in a way they can’t express their love for the game by also not shitting on something else, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
    2. Most of the criticisms are also in really bad faith, with often the “multibillion dollar company” being used to deflect how bad faith those criticisms are.

      How is it bad faith to point out the comparative scale of the companies involved? I don’t think imitating Disney and imitating small independent artists ought to be treated the same way. One might argue this is “principles” but to me that’s lacking perspective.

        Dude, I don’t even own a single Nintendo hardware! I just think the Palworld fans are utterly toxic, a lot of Nintendo haters’ only argument seeming to be “muh unreal engine”, with everything else just being there as a deflection once someone points out it.
