Nintendo's decision to file a patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair would probably "have never happened" to a smaller game, according to one analyst.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ about Nintendo's Palworld lawsuit, Dr Serkan Toto says that a smaller game would likely have flown under Nintendo's radar and that even the company's "feared" legal team would have left Pocketpair alone. "This lawsuit would have never happened if Palworld had 500 users per day on Steam," Toto says. "[Nintendo] would have said, 'ok, whatever, let's leave these guys alone; the game will die.'"
