Reading the article explains that it's not that their aesthetic is shared, it's that some of the models are extremely similar to S/V models, beyond the likelihood of coincidence, and Nintendo plans to investigate if it's coincidence or actual asset theft.

That was disproven several times - the guy who claimed it even admitted he'd altered Palworld's assets to show that supposed 'similarity'

Do you have a source for that? This is the first I'm seeing that the claims were fraudulent.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago

The guy apparently rescaled the models to make them similar in size, which, idk if I'd call that altering

I still think it's kind of a BS claim though
