No they specifically only target companies that cannot defend themselves. World of Warcraft has battle pets that you can capture by throwing cages at them and then train and fight them against other battle pets. Nintendo isn't about to file a lawsuit against Microsoft.

It seems like it was a DMCA takedown request. Anyone can submit these to content hosters and the hoster has to follow the process, which typically means removing the content until it can be proven that it isnt violating copyright. The problem isn't the takedown request, but that it was given to itch.io's registrar instead of itch.io itself. It'd be like asking to takedown youtube from the web because someone reposted your video on it.

The corporation is Service Corporation International. You can scroll down to their controversies section to see how they regularly skirt laws and regulations and receive little to no penalty to their billion dollar a year operations.

I worked a job where not getting your tasks done would result in termination. Working overtime required permission from management, who never gave it. Working overtime unauthorized was also a fireable offence. The way it was phrased was "lots of employees work unauthorized overtime to get their work done, but they don't ask for payment, so we look the other way."

It's just not the same without the vein

Valve wrote literal research papers on player experience and level design. The stuff they came up with have just become the norm in other games. For example, Valve found that players never look up without a reason to. They came up with ways to get the player to look up without directly telling them to with level design choices. Things like rays of light coming in from above, or ropes hanging from the ceiling.

Naoki Hyakuta, a writer and founder of the Conservative Party of Japan, also said that women should not be permitted to attend university from the age of 18, apparently so they could focus their efforts on producing more babies.

The conservative party's solution to declining birthrates is to make it illegal for women to do anything besides have children. What are you confused about?

Palworld had trailers featuring gameplay in 2021. Besides that, there are lots of games where you throw an object to add a character to your party. Including another earlier game by PocketPair called Craftopia. World of Warcraft added "battle pets" where you can throw a cage to catch animals and add them to your battle pets roster to fight against other trainers in 2012.
