    If they can somehow survive this which i just doubt considering one of the designers is dropout who only worked at a convenience store, then it will be a true success story.
    Otherwise i see this game either being abandoned just like craftopia or ruined by feature creep with updates people genuinely hate and the devs scrambling to fall back on them before realizing they dont have a vision.

          No it isnt and it never has been, its about “catching them all” the battles were just secondary gameplay. Battles arent that important, thats why gamefreak doesnt care about them and only the autists that play pokemon showdown cry about how easy the games are. Pokemon has always been about collecting, not about turn based combat. If you want proof to support that statement just google the number of players Pokemon Go has vs the number of players Pokemon Showdown has.

              My argument is you palnigers and your palBlack person devs were constnatly bragging about numbers of concurrent steam players and sales and now suddenly both you and the devs don't care.

              Only difference being that now the numbers have severely died out. SUDDENLY when the game isn't doing well anymore number wise you don't care about numbers.

              But you cared when it was at 2 million concurrent and bragged about it every fricking day.

    The game is pretty short, people just turn up the XP rate in world settings, level up, catch all the pals and quit. There aren't any other worth while activities yet, multiplayer is completely pointless as it is now. It really needs pvp servers and more content for mid/late/endgame, they also need to tune down on the grind from mid to late game so players don't have to spend 50 hours drilling rocks and catching 1000 duplicate pals to reach endgame at 1x XP rate. Battling should yield a lot more XP and perhaps unlock hidden perks for pals so you don't have to catch as many.

          I dunno. Given how frequently they boast about numbers, the devs REALLY seem to care about the perception of popularity of this game, and that would logically include steam player counts. Perhaps it's just ego, or perhaps it's because the only news this game gets is when it reaches a new sales or concurrent steam numbers milestone.

          The games entire popularity is built around it's popularity so they have motive to keep that perception up, even fraudulently.

          I've seen online shop scambots and I seriously don't understand how it could work. Especially since you can only have 32 characters on a server (perhaps active at a time). Is the idea there are bots who cheat in gear and pals and when you buy online the bot would drop those at your feet? Or is it more likely that you just use your parent's credit card to get scammaz'd. When I went into pub's I never saw more than a single name or two spamming url's.

      You have to think about this in terms of what the devs can reasonably do since they are really amateurish. For example I think combat could be way more challenging if pal attacks were twice as fast. That should be easy enough to implement.

    Doesn't matter if it dies, its success completely changed the monster-collecting genre forever.

    Expect to see clones from more experienced dev studios in the future - the likes of which GameFreak can't compete with, because they're incompetent enough as it is.

    Nintendo's too cowardly to release their player numbers. Bet palworld's is still way higher than any other pokemon right now.

    Well it turns out it was a shitty ark clone with a bunch of eceleb homosexuals promoting it causing the sheep to turn it into a fad. Exactly like I said when it first came out. I accept your apology

    It doesn't matter if the player count goes down, as a B title it's already sold AAA numbers and is a massive success.

      you may thing that is ironic and bait but just take a look at twitter and nintendo threads here to see that at least 80% is genuine autism.

        I understand and make the active decision to continue believing that this is irony because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.

    The correct way to investigate this is to find an endgame Steam achievement in Palworld that isn't some kind of treasure hunting thing but something that implies the player who got the achievement cleared to endgame, and compare the rate of completion to critically acclaimed games with endgame achievements of their own.
    If a decent percentage of those 2 million people actually cleared endgame what else can you ask for?

    The game just needs to release a MAJOR update around the time nintendo releases the next mainline pokemon game. Thats all it would take to revive the interest in it.
