Reading the article explains that it's not that their aesthetic is shared, it's that some of the models are extremely similar to S/V models, beyond the likelihood of coincidence, and Nintendo plans to investigate if it's coincidence or actual asset theft.

Reading the linked article? You are asking the impossible.

That was disproven several times - the guy who claimed it even admitted he'd altered Palworld's assets to show that supposed 'similarity'

[-] HandBreadedTools@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Do you have a source for that? This is the first I'm seeing that the claims were fraudulent.

[-] Eccitaze@yiffit.net -3 points 9 months ago

The guy apparently rescaled the models to make them similar in size, which, idk if I'd call that altering

I still think it's kind of a BS claim though

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

Source? Or is this a "dude trust me"

Screenrant Article here from a day ago. It does still state that Nintendo intends to investigate, but most of the stolen/copied asset claims have been refuted or rescinded. With the main "they stole assets" person admitting they fabricated the proof because they hate how Palworld glorifies animal abuse (which is extremely ironic to me because no one had a problem when Pokémon was cockfighting for children)
