Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer. He is obsessed with all things CRPG and CRPG-adjacent, but has also covered esports, modding, and rare game collecting.

I love my Nintendo Switch⁠—I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, but the hybrid console created this entirely new niche in my play habits and rekindled an appreciation for Nintendo games I hadn't really felt since the GameCube/Game Boy Advance era.

Palworld is even less of a direct threat to Nintendo's interests than pirates, a surprisingly successful imitator that the company seems compelled to punish solely to save face. The whole"Pokémon with guns" reputation and use of Pokéball-like"Pal Spheres" read as parody to me, an impish skewering of the globally-recognized Pokémon brand, and far from an existential threat to Nintendo's precious IP.

Burnishing the reputation of"Nintendo, the life-ruining legal entity" inherently comes at the cost of"Nintendo, the lovable toymaker." It's a tension that I think will one day affect the company's bottom line⁠: I'm certainly considering disengaging from Nintendo products, even as rumors fly about the upcoming Switch 2.
