Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to this morning's dramatic decision by Nintendo to file a patent infringement lawsuit against the company. In a statement issued via social media and the company's website, Pocketpair said it received notice of the legal proceedings yesterday but was still "unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon". The developer described the situation as "truly unfortunate" - as it would now have to divert resources to fighting the lawsuit - and apologised to supporters for "any worry and discomfort this news has caused".
