Bahamut Lagoon did it even earlier. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. This lawsuit has nothing to do with Palworld other than the mod being for that game. All big corporations have lawyers on retainer to protect their IP. Nintendo being mad about Palworld is complete conjecture.
Some cats absolutely understand rules they just don’t give a shit. Some of them also understand the concept of getting caught they just don’t expect or understand consequences. At most they will try to hide what they are doing (like hiding in the sink when being on the kitchen counter is illegal for cats in my household) but they will show no remorse. Smartest cat I ever had just waited until I wasn’t home to do all the shit that wasn’t allowed.
