I pull my credit report yearly. The ISP was never on it. Even if it was, after 7 years accounts are removed from your report.

I had an ISP do the same when I moved out of an apartment in 2016. I still get calls from a collection agency. The number is blocked but if I check my "blocked calls" log it's been nearly every weekday for 8 years.

It's crazy that they released it. They had early access and preorders and those only attracted something like 1,000 players. This is a game that had a $100 million budget. So few players during the early stages should have told the studio to cancel it while it was still in production. Apparently they thought they'd release it and would just jump from 1,000 players to 100,000 overnight with no changes.

It's a patent lawsuit which might have a better chance than a copyright lawsuit but Nintendo didn't disclose which patent(s) and Pocketpair also doesn't know yet either.

You're right though that any patent Pocketpair is infringing upon would also have likely been infringed by dozens of other games. Nintendo is just upset Pocketpair made millions with a game that appealed to Pokemon fans and want to ensure nobody else does it again.

In the "other references" they link to the bulbapedia article for Pokemon box so I figured thats what the whole thing was about, but yeah it does read like accessing data on a server

My guess is the "Pokemon Box Storage" system since palworld stores pals in a palbox.

They seem to have a patent for "Pokemon Box Storage" and palworld also has a "Palbox" so maybe that?

The majority of people want a balanced budget, more spending on NATO defence, more spending on prisons, no less spending on public jobs or publicly funded institutions, but also want to pay less taxes.

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't resigned as party leader and allowed another Liberal MP to take over.

I'm glad Microsoft realized allowing any company to push kernel-level code to consumers was a terrible idea. A bug at that level can brick a PC and needs to be thoroughly scrutinized before being pushed out to end users. If a company dedicated to computer security wasn't doing proper code reviews I really doubt game studios were either.

While it's great they're not going to somehow make it a subscription based game, I'm confused by something else now:

We are still considering skins and DLC for Palworld in future as a means to support development

Didn't this small team just make tens of millions of dollars in sales? An amount the CEO said was "too big for a studio with our size to handle." Why do they need more money to continue development?
