    I wish someone would make a splatoon like game for pc. Likely they are worried about getting sued.

      They did on PS4, it flopped even though it was free with ps plus. I still want to try it though, it’s called Foamstars.

      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.

        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
