Which I really don’t understand. They can’t own the concept of capture the flag and other games like that. Crash Bandicoot used to have a similar game where you bounce on squares to change them to your color, something I’ve seen in other games too.
but Splatoon has a fairly unique game mechanic, being able to swim through ink that you shoot being the primary one. That seems like something Nintendo could easily sue over.
I wish someone would make a splatoon like game for pc. Likely they are worried about getting sued.

They can’t own the concept but they’ll sue you in a biased court and either waste all of your money or get you to stop making the game

Game mechanics can’t be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)I’m wrong!
