Nintendo was just granted two new patents in the US amid The Pokemon Company's lawsuit against Palworld studio Pocketpair – a move one Baldur's Gate 3 developer doesn't think was played with good intentions.

"These types of patents are too often used in bad faith," he writes – a sentiment many share in the replies, with somebody saying on Nintendo, "By default, they operate in bad faith."
