    Not a lawyer, but it seems like changing the ball throwing mechanic is an admission that they are taking ideas from Nintendo. Maybe they are trying to minimize the damage but still seems like they are weakening their position.

      Yeah doesn’t seem like a good tactic to me.

      Honestly this whole thing is gonna set precedence and simple game mechanics are gonna get copyrighted in ways that will only make gaming as a whole even worse than it already is.
