Jeez. I thought we were better then Reddit. 

That being said, I don't like Nintendo & their Ninjas, but PocketPair is not innocent here.

This is not their only ripoff. For their next project, they choose to ripoff Hollow Knight. (At least they are consistent I guess?).

They also abandoned an unfinished early access game (This game is 4 years into Early Access).

Their CEO is also a crypto bro and said himself that he does not necessarily care about originality, if it means, that he can reach more people (and by extension earn more money).

Just to name a few.

My opinion for what it's worth is generally no one is going to not play hollow knight because they are playing the ripoff. You can't own a style or game genre if someone has a similar look and feel there's not much you can do about it than have a better game.
