NINTENDO!!!!!
Nintendo is just collecting legal material and info. Soon they will sue them and get every last penny of this Early Access abomination
Massive cope there anon
Revenge
It'll be really funny when we hear news of the Palworld switch port.
REVENGE!
>Critics
Unironically nintendo no longer has a case. If you don't defend your copyright when you know someone is using it you give up your right to it. This is literally why nintendo and blizzard go to shut down fan projects cause if they allow it to exist it sets the precedent they aren't defending their copyright or are allowing it.
Nintendo never had a case which is why they never took any legal action against the game during the 3 years of development time, and why they didn't take legal action at the games launch.
You know what they did do though?
C&D'd multiple modders that were putting Pokemon and Pokemon Trainers into Palworld.
So clearly their legal team is aware and keeping tabs on Palworld.
>You know what they did do though?
>C&D'd multiple modders that were putting Pokemon and Pokemon Trainers into Palworld.
Considerig the fact said modders were moronic enough to Paywall their garbage behind a patreon and make said monetization a FRICKING PUBLIC THING, no wonder they got hammered down first before palworld got anything in its 3 years of development (especially in a country that does not have the same copyright laws as the US)
>mfw i see dumbass modders/hackers try to monetize shit made from games published by THE ''frick fans'' company
You'd think they'd learn by now to not get coy and cozy with Nintendo but here we are.
>during the 3 years of development time
This is the most damning bit imo.
A few of the pals that are shown to be copies of mons were actually shown in the announcement trailer before Scarlet and Violet even released, like Tinkaton and Flopie.
>nintendo stole palworld designs
oh no no no no no.
>what is parody for 300
No one cared when South Park, Drawn Together, Johnny Test & etc happened, why now
>tfw no Johnny'mon game
I don't care now.
There have been criticisms and fake models from shitposters and tendies about Pals being copied. I was just saying that it isn't the case due to Pals being shown earlier that were what they assumed to be copies of.
Honestly I wouldn't care if they were copies. I play games I don't litigate for game devs.
>make 250 million dollars
>have to pay 80 million in taxes and another 20 million to steam
why is that allowed
@NINTENDO @FBI SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hilarious. Love to see it. Remind them not to ruin real threads due to having no games to play.
XD Upvoted!
hey, Ganker tourist here, why are 25% of the threads here discussing game profits and "flopping"? is it just bots like Ganker? also kek'd that people still talk about console wars, i remember watching Xbox 360 vs. ps3 rap battle videos in 2013
Ganker hates successful games
>is it just bots like Ganker?
Man, I wish that was the case.
And yeah, there's still console wars, only that mentality has extended to everything pretty much.
post pics or you're a manlet larper
Shut the frick up I'm not a goddamn manlet
People don't talk about console wars only "people" do. These specific threads are just 50% of the manchildren who liked pokemon poking at the other 50% of the manchildren who still like pokemon.
Shouldn't you be eating oats and lifting cars instead of watching us get autistic
post body
Poketards absolutely shat their pants at Palworld and are trying to gaslight (poorly) everyone else into believing its a flop somehow.
>10 million players on Xbox
Sony sisters, I thought nobody is playing Palworld on Xbox? What is going on here? That's more players than Helldivers 2 has across PS5 AND Steam.
Yet, everyone has moved and not talking about it anymore. It's Helldivers 2 time. Also, still pulling the player equals sales number still? Not even Starfield go this desperate.
>Helldivers 2
more like helldivers 2 decades to get in the game
>It's the same anon who cried & cope for 3 threads about his buying "argument" when literally it equates to Microsoft buying copies
You sound like you browse Twitter.
What's after hd2? Did flavortown announce anything?
Your "vegana" is a rotting wound.
Most sane Swedish man. It's pretty hilarious that Nguardivers 2 caters so strongly to dudebros just so they can funnel the money into more women dev's.
This is great, and it could outpace Pokemon sales over this length of time (it already did at launch), but we can not count all 10 million players on Xbox to be actual sales thanks to Game Pass. Scarlet and Violet sold 22 million in two months and Palworld world sold 15-16 million in a month and a few days.
You mean Scarlet and Violet sold 11 Million EACH
Yes you are right, I didn't meant to imply they sold 22 million each
considering how cheap Palworld is if you buy it, I don't think you can just assume that all 10 million players on Xbox are from gamepass. If you tried out Palworld on gamepass and you realized you like it enough that you are likely going to play it for a while, chances are you're going to buy it for 30 bucks rather than spend several $15/month subscriptions to continue playing the game.
I absolutely agree, it's just you can't really put a number on it so I am lowballing it for minimum sales. I wish they'd just say the true sales
Players aren't sales and it's on gamepass.
I paid for it on xbox. They made at least one sale, where is your god now?
xpox pays them per install on different accounts tho, so its a full sale, cope lol
Yes I'm sure when people pay $10 for Gamepass Microsoft pays out the full retail price to the publisher for every installation of every game currently on Gamepass
Microsoft literally pays out a set chunk for how ever chunk amount is bought. Which is why when gamepass is doing poorly its a frickin negative.
That's not how that works, moron. gamepass downloads are not counted as full sales.
>15 million copies
Yea ripped straight from Pokémon.
>game plays nothing like Pokémon
You good anon?
So like 1/3 of series s/x owners played it?
"Xbox" probably means PC players as well, just not on Steam.
>it's not a flo-ACKKKKKKKKK
Helldivers 2 is currently behind Palworld at 204k concurrent players by the way
It's because of the chinks. When US hours come, Helldivers get's on top
you're lucky if Last Epoch isn't going to overtake Helldivers today. Helldivers will have its flavor of the month status revoked and changed to flavor of the week. Just like Granblue Fantasy before it. Playstation games just don't seem to have the quality to make it past 1 week of relevancy.
Now show us the players of YOUR favourite game lil buddy
>s-show us y-your g-game
why are palslopper troons so pathetic?
>anon too afraid to post a real reply
mindbroken brandslave
>furiously lick chink ripoff pokeslop boots
that’ll do pig
You attack the weakest rebuttal against you and then you resort to just namecalling. Explain how hitting 2 million players and being on track to meet Scarlet/Violet sales over two months makes a game a flop
Maybe because it had the fastest, largest dropoff in player numbers of literally any game in history? Everyone who jumped on the Palophile bandwagon has already moved on to Helltakers 2. And there will never be the same numbers for Palworld again, a dead cat bouncing only when they release a new update and then the numbers will dive again. But enjoy bragging about how cool it is to follow the rest of the sheep as long as you get to stick it to the Pokeymans.
They've already secured the sales. The game's a success, and you're here anti-shilling the game so that's not really a point
hope pocketscams community manager sees this sis!
Helldivers 2 has 100k less players than Palworld right now.
Palworld had 2.1 million concurrent players at its peak. I don't think Helldivers ever exceeded even 500k concurrent players. So that leaves at least 1.6 million Palworld players who did in fact never move onto Helldivers 2.
>aka the turdworlders and chinksects such as myself
>it still tops in player count
Again, how is this a flop?
How is this not the life of every game ever? Peaks at release the falls to low consistent numbers? I'm generally curious if you can find a few games that don't trend this way because I can take this as a valid point on your side if I'm proven wrong otherwise it seems disingenuous to apply a negative to somthing with every other example has the same fate. It's like getting mark off point in swimming class for not being able to breathe underwater well neither can anyone else
explain why you are crying like a mindbroken sloptroon because somebody insulted chink ripoff pokeslop open world survival crafting slop
>watching somebody be intellectually dishonest then acting like they come out triumphant to then call them out is crying
>t. crying slopsoomertroon
Games these days can't be "completed". You have to keep playing it at least for 6 months every single day for it to be counted as successful. You can't play for few hours, had fun, and stop. You have to keep playing the same game with all the cool updates and battle pass. Then your brand will be considered successful.
You don't meet that criteria? You fail. Your game can be sold for 5 billion copies and you still fail cause the players didn't keep playing it.
OH NO NO NO PALSISTERS, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
AIEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME LOVEANDER
>highest peak of any game on Steam
>It's a flop guys. Please say it's a flop! I need you to say it's a flop so I can laugh at it! PLEASE!
Most played game on Steam right now that isn't F2P. Ahead of the current FOTM game by 100k players. Pretty good for a game that came out a month ago I'd say.
>single player game has 300k concurrent over a month after launch
Am I the only person still blown away by this? Like sure, the number dropped from the peak and it didn't hit Pokemon numbers, but still. A literal "small indie studio" game hit half the numbers of the largest IP in the world, and is still being played a month later. If they nurture this IP they could easily turn it into a series over the course of a decade.
No, you aren't, only deluded tendies are acting like this is in any way bad. This is clearly a Cities Skylines 1 situation, when the main IP in genre fumbles so badly that it opens the path for a good indie to take its place. Hopefully they won't get greedy and try to make a sequel that cuts back features making it worse than the original.
>it didn't hit pokemon numbers.
we have no way to know pokeman concurrent number of players.
Show me Scarlet and Violet numbers now.
Meanwhile Pokemon Stinky Pussy and Circumcised Penis Remastered Edition has 100000000000000 players online right now. We won sisters!
>almost 400k breeding obsessed autists on a weekday
You love to see it.
>he doesn't know
I'm breeding all my Pals in the missionary position right now.
someone post the sales chart of all pokemon games, i am morbidly curious
if we count the xbox players, palworld is currently rivaling the franchise.
red/blue/yellow sold 31 million.
scarlet/violet sold 24 million.
its only been a month while thats the full runtime for those two games.
reminder that palworld is only in early access
if it gets a full release the game is absolutely going above red/blue/yellow.
i cant wait to see the inevitable tendie meltdown when the original pokemon game is outsold by another monster catcher.
I can already tell when it hits 35m Poketards will still claim its a flop somehow.
>Pokemon Red and Blue
>31m
>Pokemon Sword and Shield
>26m
>Palworld
>25m
>Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
>24m
>Pokemon Gold and Silver
>23m
why did sword and shield sell so fricking much?
marnie and nessa, mostly, but they really checked all the boxes with sexy pokegirls in s&s
nobody buys pokemon games because they wanna frick the girls
they buy pokemon games because they wanna frick the pokemon
the fact that sword and shield had an abundance of frickable girls and almost no frickable mons suggests otherwise.
First proper mainline Pokemon game on a home console in HD, so there was a lot of hype leading into it.
>dead gamegays desperately trying to shill this forgotten slop
no thanks
no other non-f2p game on Steam has more players than Palworld at this moment in time. Yes, that includes Helldivers 2. The massive current FOTM hypetrain that just came out a couple of days ago currently has 100k less players than Palworld.
fewer and fewer turdworlder slop cattle are consooming this troonslop…soon it will be a laughing stock that people bring up…hey remover that awful chino pokeslop rip off with crafting slop lmao…grim
I mean, obviously if a game becomes such a massive hit that it has the second highest concurrent player count in Steam history, the drop-off is also going to be substantial. not sure why you think that's a bad thing for Palworld considering a month after release it's still beating every game on Steam that isn't f2p.
Not against it being successful. Just don’t like the obvious(at least to non delusional paltards with a hate boner for Nintendo/gamefreak) plagiarism.
>the only thing it does is designs & the designs are obvious parody
You okay tendie?
>obvious parody
>uses frankensteins of existing pokemon
I will never get a rational answer from you spergs. You won’t admit what’s right in front of you clear as day. Maybe loveander is a parody, but most of the rip offs are not.
>Literally Electric Totoro

How are you this dense?
It says 15 million copies moron (xbox players both aren't real people and are using gamepass)
Do snoys think gamepass is some kind of charity and the developers get no financial compensation for it whatsoever?
Are you dumb?
>it got to the point that Xbox themselves now have to talk about it on pods
You good?
WHERE IS IT POCKETPAIR?
Daily reminder Pokémon fans and YouTubers are pedophiles
>Sells 25 Million copies
it only sold 15 million, all the xbox ones are game pass. plus nobody is playing this chinese slop anymore, it's forgotten already. sales=/success
>all the xbox ones are game pass
And?
screw it, if they can get away with near stealing designs and just recoloring them a bit, i'm gonna do the same and make my own pokemon-not-pokemon game. anyone know how to code? lets make a couple mill Ganker. you guys are no less talented than the random japs they pulled together out of thin air, and we got ai gen for designs ez couple mill.
You have to change the genre to something The Pokémon Company hasn't done yet.
Whatever happened to the "if a reasonably intelligent person can tell the difference between the two games, it's not copyright infrigement" rule?
>idea man trying to copy the latest big FOTM thinking that he'll make it big
by the time whatever trash you develop is released there will be dozens of other Palworld knock offs that beat your game to the punch.
>The games (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet) are the most pre-ordered games in the series' history.[7] They sold over 10 million units in their launch weekend, which is the highest for any Nintendo game in this time frame.[8] As of December 31, 2022, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have sold 20.61 million copies worldwide, the highest for a Nintendo game in its launch quarter.[9] In the fiscal year of their release, the games sold 22.10 million copies worldwide, the highest for a Nintendo game in its first fiscal year. As of December 31, 2023, the games have sold 24.36 million copies worldwide, making these the third best selling Pokémon games of all time.

r-revenge?
>Took Pokemon a whole year to sell the same Palworld sold in a month
LMAO
Congratulations for the 7th place I guess
It's on track for number 1
>beating multiple Pokémon sales
>I-I guess congrats on 7th! Hahahaa
anon, read well, it sold 15 millions while 10 millions are game pass shit (actually this is outdate, that vg place says it sold 16 millions). It still crushed like half of pokemon games total lifetime sales so far but it only has sold 16 millions, not 25.
>gamepass doesn't count
Sure Johnny
It's also half the price.
And 75% the price of the handheld games
And 1/100th the dev cost
>chinks and manchildren arguing to be king of the tard playground
>Palworldbros are chinks
I....I think it's time to switch sides.
Since I haven't seen a single screenshot from any anon on this board because none of you is playing this game, I honestly don't expect an answer. But, I will still ask: this game is basically monster catch + Fortnite, right?
I'm at work but yeah, it basically steals the pickaxe swing and hang glider animations
It's Ark with Pokemon instead of dinos and you can use them to automate shit on your base.
It does have the glider although that's more of a zelda botw rip off than fortinite considering how much they copied from that game.
And there's often gameplay threads with people posting webms of gameplay and screenshots of their bases and shit.
Less fortnite, more ark in terms of combat. But also the exploration is pretty nice thanks to the game having some batshit crazy tech
very cool, but still doesn't compare to my swift runner nimble legend jetragon
>my swift runner nimble legend jetragon
Yeah but it's also something you can do as soon as you get the grappling hook and any glider compared to getting the fricking final boss in your belt.
I had a swift runner fengalope really early on that moved faster and more consistently than that vid but could also double jump up almost every cliff in the game. It's a neat trick but it looks like kind of a pain to maintain when there are better options.
No. Monster Catcher + ARK
troondies in denial phase already
>Palworld is doing better numbers than GTA V
Holy shit this is unbelievable
nice photoshop
NINTENDO, FBI DO SOMETHIIIIIIIIIIING!!!
>Sells
I think you need glasses
They literally say 15m Steam and 10m Xbox (gamepass) in the same image.
it says in the image right there anon. players, not sales. it's because the game is on gamepass so most people on xbox didn't actually buy the game
And you know that because the same image makes that clear.
Is this a bit?
read the OP again. he said the game sold 25 million. I was correcting that
Op is a homosexual; a tale as old as time.
still 15M confirmed sales. and its only going to keep rising.
>gamepass doesn't count
Anon. Gamepass counts. Microsoft literally buys a sum to make it free for people who technically bought this game for 10 bucks
If we had a number of the sum we could equate that to sales
>Ignores how the same image points out that is 15 millions sales o. Steam and 10 millions players of game pass.
At least pay attention before shitposting.
>25,000,000 "players"
If they actually sold that much they wouldn't use this termonolgy.
Yeah, the image makes it pretty clear that it's 15k copies sold in steam + 10k players in xbox.
OP is a gay.
Next week is going to be fun watching poketards on full defense force.
Are they still trying to make it look like pirated copies are Steam players?
Reminder pirated copies can access online with absolutely zero hurdles. Just click multiplayer, and boom, you're on official servers or playing with friends who have official copies (or dont).
Thats why steam doesn't say players dipshit.
No they’re legit
https://vginsights.com/game/1623730
It’s also 16.6 million now, so it surpassed Pokemon SWSH.
>conflating game pass players as sales
>pretending they are not
Nice cope
>game came out one month ago with game breaking bugs
>not a single new piece of content, every time there's a "patch" it just breaks new things
>every single piece of communication is about how they "plan" to do stuff later on and how the game sells +several millions each week (despite the player count diving)
I really wanted this game to be something so shitendo wouldn't have a choice and would need to step up but it will have the opposite effect
>New content hinted at the end of the month or next
Anon it's been a month & the team is like 10 people, all of whom didn't even know how to even use the engine they are working on & a grocery store employee.
>players
how many of those Xbox numbers are Game Pass
No one cares anymore homosexual. 30 bucks -30% steam tax is less than 60 bucks + 30+ 350 for the switches it sold
1) Game Freak doesn't get Switch money
2) Most Pokemon games sold for $40
Those older pokemon games sold billions of 100 dollar plusses moron. Game freak is funded by creatures inc and Nintendo. Their rate of return is something like 36% according to old Nintendo leaks. Which is by far still more money than palworld makes considering pokemon makes billions of dollars a year
innit
They have literally sold more than, with the exception of 2, most Pokémon games.
Stop the count, I guess. I just don't care anymore.
