Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against Tencent over its upcoming game Light of Motiram, with Sony saying it is a “slavish clone” of the Horizon series.

    There’s got to be irony somewhere in Sony striking a deal with Palworld, then suing another company for copying the art of their game.

        There are some monster designs that are very similar to Pokemon, but FWIW Pokemon has a lot of simple designs inspired by real animals anyway.

          Some are the designs are pretty close I will admit, even though I don’t think Nintendo should be able to randomly shut down gamea that are vaguely similar to Pokémon.

            That’s why it’s irony, Sony support knockoff, got their game knockedoff and mad about it.

              But is Palworld really a knockoff? Some of the designs are similar, but I didn’t get the impression that whole game is a knockoff.

              If we used Nintendo’s logic, we would never have any other CRPGs beyond Ultima. I am don’t support such measures.
