genuine question how is this a bad thing???? like what is making these people see positive news, then proceeds to sperg out like "AAAARRRGGGHHHH I MUST BE ANGRY AT A GAME I NEVER CARED ABOUT, UNTIL I SAW IT ON TWITTER!!!" like dude how miserable do you have to be to genuinely care about something you have no interest in at all, like it's all on them to continue to pay 70$s for rushed pokemon games and low-quality moba games with terrible launches, is there a phenomenon for this? cause im actual gob stopped by how childish those tweets were
This kind of behavior can always be whittled down to simply: Ego.
In this case, it is Nintendo fans who have made being a fan of nintendo a personality trait. Therefore, its part of who they are. And any attacks, threats, or insults against who they are, due to their immaturity, act out in very entertaining ways.
Shame they cannot see how a game like Palword creates competition, which is good for them as consumers. Competition makes those who wish to compete, better. Those who have not had competition up to that point, who finally then face it and can not rise to the challenge, throw fits or quit. I consider Nintendo throwing a fit with their lawsuit nonsense, but that is just my silly opinion.
Stepping back from my opinion, from a perspective of copyright law (which is a whole can of worms) I can see why Nintendo sued for certain elements, despite I really think if Nintendo pulled the Palworld devs aside (maybe they did? I do not get into gamer drama that much. I even somehow missed the entirety of Gamergate. I was fucking gaming dude, not on twitter....) they would have worked with Nintendo to make the finer points that led to lawsuit moot.
Nintendo still refusing to sell Palworld on their systems says a lot to me. They could be making quite a buck from Palworld sales, and it likely would not take away from Pokemon sales at all.
