With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

open source doesn't pay my mortgage, pay back any business loans, put food on my table, etc. as the sole breadwinner in my family.

To be clear, I have contributed in a minor degree to open source and build things for fun; this is specifically about why copyright exists in certain domains. I also think it should be something more like 3-5 years max. I am a software engineer and used to work in the games industry for a number of years (though not anymore).

Then do something that does? Are we supposed to literally ruin part of society just for your benefit? You're not entitled to this.

literally ruin part of society

Not being able to steal something someone put a ton of time and/or money into for a couple of years without compensating them at all is ruining society... how exactly?

Here's where you fail to think when you call this "stealing". You don't own intellectual property as it didn't come from the vacuum of your head. It's built from millions of other contributors and our collective intelligence.

Don't like this? You're free to leave this to people who do and go do something else. No one's forcing you to do this. You're not even aware of your own entitlement.
