With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

I don't play Palworld, but still hate firms that behaves like this. Not buying Nintendo anymore 🥳 Emulators from here on :)

Patenting common stuff like this is just stupid! Think I read somewhere that Apple patented squares with rounded corners 😂 Hope Nintendo doesn't use rounded corners in any of their in-game menus.

I though patents were ment to protect important original ideas. Stuff with impact.

Can't they just release free DLC with those features worldwide exlcuding Japan where those patents are enforceable ?

Most companies do stuff like that but pocketpair is based in Japan so they can't, they'd be held accountable.

Patents should last 10 years instead of 20, and digital patents even less.
