My shitty no-stakes conspiracy theory is that said modders are comprised of anonymous Palworld devs who are as salty about the removal as we are, and who know the code better than anyone.
“Fuck it, we’re doing Pikachu.”
Make game open source
What do now Nintendo?
Nintendo has sued multiple open source projects and their creators into oblivion.
As for a restoration of throw-to-release pals, there is a mod currently available along those lines, but it doesn’t work exactly as Palworld used to before last year’s patch (it doesn’t include the ball-throwing animation, rather summons the Pal where you’re currently looking).
Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re going full “avoid Nintendo issues” mode and make one mod for spawning, another for throwing animation and potentially potentially a third sacrificial one to make them work together. Iif you don’t make the second compatible with “all” items and don’t use the ball as an example screenshot.
Love it. Just hope big daddy N doesn’t go after them too.
Is Nintendo the new “N-word”?
Racists soon trying to fit the N-word into Nintendo in 3…
Nintendo has been called “Big N” for a very long time, so I wouldn’t attribute that to this.
Reporting for using the N slur
