Why did Palworld Fail?

There are roughly the same amount of people player Baldurs Gate 3 right now as there are Palworld. BG3 is several months old. Palworld is only a month old, and had more than double the peak players that BG3 ever had.

What happened? And are the devs gonna finish the game ever?

      There already is when Hasbro reported their $1 Billion loss. Apparently, it's $90 million.

        So like 1-2 million. Not sure how it still has that many active players though.

          that the money that hasbro made from bg3 not the total amount the game made in general.
          we need to know the % of revenue hasbro got from bg3 sales to know the total.

    didn't it sell absolute gangbusters AND make Pokégays piss shit and seethe? Sounds like a success in my book, the game isn't an MMO, once people finish it (or just get what they want out of it) they move on, that's how it works
    I swear, some of you morons think games aren't suppose to lose players

      Starfield sold millions as well and is considered a failure here

        Starfield is a AAA game that probably cost $300 million in dev costs and marketing.
        Palworld in an indie game that probably cost $1 million max. The devs each literally made enough for 10 luxurious lifetimes overnight.

      Did they mention increasing the level cap or increasing difficulty for new content?
      As it is now, any new content they add can just be oneshot by perfectly bred teams that people had the time to make while they were waiting around with nothing better to do.

    Explain to me how you measure success. They recently released updated sales numbers. The game does not have a subscription or DLC. Why would a high concurrent player count be a better masure of success for a one time purchase game than sales numbers?

    Hearing shit like this is what I assume goes on in a lot of exec boardrooms for most AAA games, just going on and on about how a game doesnt have a billion people playing means it failed even though it sold millions

      It probably only goes on in the ones where the board members don't actually play games.

    BG3 is a complete game that can take a hundred hours to complete, far more if you are playing co-op online.
    Palworld is an early access game that takes 50 hours to run out of things to do.

    It didn't fail - it sold well above expectations and had large numbers of actual players. They played, finished and moved on. That's how things work.

    I'm fricking tired of all these zoomers thinking that either number of players increase infinitely or game somehow "failed".

    Palworld was pure fotm zoomer hype. As soon as people got to the mid game and realized it was a generic survival crafting open world sloppa, but even worse than other games that have done it better like Valheim, they moved on.

    Baldur's Gate 3 is actually a good game through and through.

    It's been 6 weeks and Palworld is still getting a 24hr high almost 400k. I'm disappointed in you nuGanker you claim to hate battlepasseses and daily quests but when a game comes out and tells you to have fun you scream about needing direction.

    The Dead by Daylight Dev was right - the game has a very addictive gameplay loop but not nearly enough polish and fine-tuning in its mechanics to back it up. It ain't no Monster Hunter, that's for sure.
