It’s competition just like Palworld and Digimon are to Pokémon, or Sonic and Astro Bot to Mario. It may have been originally created in a pitch to Sony for a mainline Horizon entry, but ultimately this was Tencent’s from-the-ground-up creation. If the game was a cheap ripoff, then Sony should’ve let the game flop; but if it ended up being something very special, then that’s good for the industry. Why support a business stripping consumers of the option to play the game for themselves? |
Throwing Digimon, Sonic and Astrobot in this is crazy lol. These are all original games with very distinct aesthetics and flavours to a broader genre. No one could mistake Sonic or Astrobot for Mario. Or Digimon for pokemon... Tecent straight of ripped Sonys IP top to bottom from what we can see, Palworld is the only fair example and it at least made very clear distinction in its gameplay & other areas of the world and approach.
We love competition, we don't need straight up copy cats though, its a waste of resources from Tecents side... I do hope their work doesn't go to waste though and the game is just being reworked to be less of an aesthetic rip off.
