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.

The first attempt to sue was over copyright. Nintendo figured it had no grounds, so it went for patent bullshit

Palworld picked a fight with a bigger fish. The law doesn’t care about morals.

They didn't start the fight. They were sued. If you think "picking a fight with Nintendo" is something you can do any time, and on your own volition, you must be missing something.

I finally decided to look into it. I didn’t find any statements matching my claim.
