    Perhaps in a bid to avoid any potential issues with Nintendo, mod site Nexus Mods appears to be removing any Pokémon-related mods for Palworld from its site.

    Nexus Mods out here making every decision possible to make me avoid them even more every year.

      Oh no!

      Anyway, Nexus Mods would have been sued into oblivion and what was left of it was a burning garbage pit if you had your way. It’s a good thing you don’t have decision making power there.

        Aren’t free mods under fair use? There’s plenty of copyrighted material on nexusmods and even steam workshop, always has been and I hope always will be. The only issue with palworld pokemon mod was it’s monetization afaik.

          1. Japan doesnt really have a concept of fair use. Nintendo can and does go after a wide variety of things that might have been considered fair use elsewhere.

          2. What this mod did would not be considered fair use anywhere else either.
