Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Reportedly Narrow Palworld Lawsuit to Older Game Versions Only

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have reportedly limited the scope of their lawsuit against Pocketpair's Palworld to older versions of the game. The narrowing is believed to be a result of so-called 'preventive' updates that Pocketpair implemented to address the patent concerns at the heart of the litigation. The development suggests the updates were effective enough to remove the newer versions of Palworld from the suit's scope.
