A recent study by researchers at Brunel University London, detailed in a paper reported by The Guardian and Eurogamer, investigated why gamers choose between traditional and inverted controls. Dr. Jennifer Corbett and Dr. Jaap Munneke found that the decision isn’t simple, and largely depends on how a person’s brain processes 3D space. Their paper, titled “Why axis inversion? Optimising interactions between users, interfaces, and visual displays in 3D environments,” suggests several factors contribute to this preference.

Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld, had previously stated that mods like ‘Pocket Souls’ (a Dark Souls 3 Pokemon mod) challenged Nintendo’s patents.
