    While it’s great they’re not going to somehow make it a subscription based game, I’m confused by something else now:

    We are still considering skins and DLC for Palworld in future as a means to support development

    Didn’t this small team just make tens of millions of dollars in sales? An amount the CEO said was “too big for a studio with our size to handle.” Why do they need more money to continue development?

    Has this game changed since launch? Is it still a pokemon knockoff, or has it become more than that?

      If you’ve played it before, it has the same feel imo.

      There’s new lands, more QoL, new pals. Nothing drastic I’ve noticed from its release state.

      Think Minecraft and then Minecraft after like 3-4 updates.

      I don’t really think it’s ever been a Pokemon knockoff in anything but the monster designs. And they’re not going to change all of those, so… it’s just as a much a Pokemon knockoff as it’s always been.

    Apparently eleventy-bajillion dollars wasn’t enough.
