It is highly likely that this recently updated feature in the game is a result of Nintendo’s lawsuit. Because of this, players will have to bid farewell to a lot of things in the game, which might hinder its overall performance of it in the long run until the developers come up with a fix as soon as possible.

Nintendo has been insecure a lot lately. It wants to keep its exclusive IPs close to its heart. The exact reason for doing so still hides in the shadows. Nintendo, along with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld’s developer.

Nintendo accused Palworld of copying key mechanics from Pokémon games, including the famous spawning mechanic. Players have been complaining about not being able to strategize Pal spawns anymore in the game since it has been changed to automatic spawning to your nearest location.

Many players have opted to leave the game until these issues are fixed in the game. The current update seems to have sprung out of desperation, fearing serious legal action might be taken against the company, which might end up shutting it down completely. Even players are brainstorming ideas that Palworld can incorporate in the future.

The developers have adopted a smart strategy to quickly fix the mechanic that might get them into trouble while they figure out the best way to incorporate further changes to it.

Palworld Might Soon Bounce Back To Its Former Glory

The current update disabled the controversial feature that allowed players to spawn Pals strategically. It was an important aspect of the game that made the experience fun and challenging.

However, ever since that feature has been changed to auto-spawning, players are not having a great time playing the game. They want the previous feature to come back.

The developers are currently focusing on steering clear of the allegations made by Nintendo at the moment to buy some time and brainstorm ideas about how to make Palworld bounce back to its former glory. It is a widely celebrated game with a lot of appeal. The current situation is nothing but a small blow. It is highly likely that the game will bounce back. What do you think about it?
