$65k, that's all this hot air amounts to? I'm pretty sure they've made a lot more than that recently out of people buying the game just to spite Nintendo. The 24 hour peak concurrent players of just under 20k, if are all recent purchases, is an order of magnitude what would be needed to settle the lawsuit.
$65k and pulling Palworld from sale. Nintendo doesn't need money, they could fill several swimming pools with $1000 bills. They want to crush a direct competitor making a superior product.
This only potentially works for the slant eyes. In the real world abroad, this automatically fails. Not only has the largest gaming market (west) established precident that gameplay CANNOT be copyrighted, MS has more money than idiot nintendont could ever hope to achieve, plus fucktivision is still a power player, despite themselves. They would be walking into a new, metaphorical nuclear apocalypse if they tried to pull that shit anywhere but JP.
It's not about the amount, it's about sending a message. Both to other game devs who might try the same thing, and to Sony who partnered with PocketPair to try to grow the Palworld brand.

From sale in Japan. This patent trolling Nintendo is pulling isn't applicable anywhere else.

That tells me this is mostly about preening and sending a message instead of actually seeking damage and destruction.
Its still not right, but Nintendo DMCA and other lawsuits are usually in that vein of mostly hot air and illusion rather than actual attacks.
