Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories.

Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Pocketpair and Nintendo are currently tackling a lawsuit, with Nintendo suing them over patent infringement. While it wasn't confirmed, it was suspected by many that the reason Pocketpair pulled out of Tokyo Game Show as an exhibitor was due to the lawsuit. Despite this, a brand-new trailer for Palworld was shown today during the PlayStation State of Play. As confirmed after the trailer, Palworld is officially available on PlayStation 5 today so that people can dive into the world of pocket monsters with guns. At the moment, it's uncertain what this will mean for those who decide to purchase the […]
Rumors surrounding Nintendo’s successor to its wildly successful Switch hybrid console continue heating up, with this week bringing us images that allegedly leak the appearance of the Switch 2. In other Nintendo news, the Mario maker, along with The Po...
Palworld was set to be on the exhibitors list at the Tokyo Games Show, but it seems that they have now been removed from the list entirely. This choice possibly comes after Nintendo issued a lawsuit, saying that Palworld was infringing on multiple of Nintendo's patents. On the day that the lawsuit was issued, one of the developers tweeted out an emoji while they were at TGS (as stated in their name on X). Still, an official statement has been released on the Palworld social media and the Pocketpair website. According to Pocketpair, they are unaware of what patents they […]

Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
Remember back in January when The Pokémon Company said it planned to “investigate” monster-taming game Palworld for intellectual property rights infringement? Well, it looks like Pikachu and friends are officially filing a lawsuit against the game’s d...
Palworld was the first and (so far) biggest surprise hit of 2024. Launched in early access on PC and Xbox on January 19, the game developed by Pocketpair went on to break several sales records; in just a month, Palworld had sold 15 million copies on Steam alone and also had around 10 million players on Xbox (though the game is included with the Game Pass subscription there). However, these incredible figures suddenly slowed down. Nowadays, the game is played by around 25-30K concurrent players on Steam, down from the massive peak of 2.1 million players registered at launch. Pocketpair […]
