"Nexus Mods Issues Warning Against Palworld Pokémon Mods Amid Legal Concerns"

TL;DR Summary
Nexus Mods, a major mod distribution site, has preemptively stated that it will not host any Pokémon-themed mods for the game Palworld due to the risk of legal action from Nintendo. This decision comes in light of Palworld's similarities to the Pokémon franchise and Nintendo's history of aggressively pursuing legal challenges against fan-made content. Despite other Pokémon-related mods being available on the site, the potential for legal repercussions has led Nexus Mods to take a proactive stance. Additionally, Palworld has faced accusations of direct theft of Pokémon character models, prompting The Pokémon Company to investigate.
