The US government blew up two prized buildings and killed thousands of its own citizens to be able to dig underneath them to find a a tomb that was buried there. Got it.
But why wouldn't they have just unearthed it when they built the towers? Why did they need to destroy them? Wouldn't excavating be easier without two piles of smoldering death on top of it?
This person is wildly detached from reality.
I just said that I would not argue that. That means that I think the game play is different.
What about the dynamic of capturing wild monsters from all different biomes in a ball? Isn't that relatively close Pokemon? Game play is different, but the dynamics are similar.
I don't disagree with that, but the line that is drawn between inspiration and imitation is blurred and the courts will probably rule in favor of those with the most money, unfortunately.
You can either explain your position, or you can be a pretentious ass. Like I said before, I'm often wrong. I'm willing to hear your point, but you refuse to make it and act pompous.
It was wrong for Nintendo to copy someone, but it's not wrong for Pocketpair to copy someone. That's what you are saying?
Again, this isn't a copyright lawsuit. Making a game with monsters that look similar to theirs is not what the lawsuit is about. It's about patents. Likely design patents like I mentioned before. If I made a country song with Eminem's lyrics, of course you wouldn't confuse it with Slim's music, but I would need his permission first.
