Pokemon fans all over the world attempting to slander and incite hatred against Pocket Pair and their latest release of the open-world survival crafting sensation known as “Palworld” continue to lose horribly as its sales figures only grow stronger from the backlash.
It is genuinely a marvel to see low budget indie titles receive more praise and financial success than AAA publishers and developers can ever truly provide with their rubbish $70 live service offerings, we’ve previously discussed Pocket Pair’s Palworld several times already and the hits keep on coming.
We’ve already covered the onslaught of corporate fanboys slandering the game as being some generic knock-off imitation of Nintendo’s Pokemon, desperately trying to defend their beloved franchise which hasn’t only stagnated but has simply regressed in quality over the years by making comparisons between the similarities of the monsters present within Palworld and Pokemon in an accept to incite Nintendo’s lawyers to laugh some sort of action against the small indie studio.
Their pleas are obviously quite retarded however that simply won’t stop corporate bootlickers, rather their outrage and lawsuit baiting has only benefitted Palworld if anything else, the constant coverage and the immense accolades the small Japanese studio in Pocket Pair continue to concur one after another is entirely thanks to the stagnation of Nintendo combined with the fact that Palworld is simply an enjoyable game that takes the canvas of others and combines them into an innovative and unique experience.
The game as a whole managed many feats since launch, selling one million copies in just eight hours, two million in a day, three million in less than two days.
And now? The sky is the limit, the game has already broken the 4 million copy milestone, which by that point in time Palworld was ranked 5th on Steam in all-time high concurrent player figures at 1.295 Million players on Steam alone simultaneously.
Purely thanks to the immense outrage and controversy surrounding the game due to enraged Nintendo loyalists, to the fact that the open world survival crafting sensation is simply a damn good time all things considered. I must personally thank religious Pokemon fanboys for giving a small indie studio the attention that it deserves.
Because its peak player count continues to skyrocket, Palworld has taken the entire gaming landscape by storm, no doubt that GameFreak are taking notice of its success, though I doubt they’d care all that much given how the woeful pile of dogshit that was Pokémon Scarlet and Violet despite being a regressive, lazy and buggy mess ended up being the most successful franchise entry to date.
Palworld has now recorded a staggering peak simultaneous player count of 1,582,482 which now firmly puts it in third place overall in terms of Steam concurrent player figures, behind Valve’s Counter-Strike 2 and PUBG.
The more popular this game gets, the more outrage ensues from devoted corporate bootlickers, which turns into additional coverage and discovery on social media platforms which turns into more sales. It’s called the Streisand Effect and it’s lovely.
Palworld is simply going to the moon, forget Yokai Watch, forget Temtem. Pocket Pair are simply innovating in a genre that has remained stagnate for decades and those that bitch and moan about false allegations of AI usage and or asset theft are getting a nice helpful dose of reality.
