Totally forgot about this. Great call out

They have been so far, both in terms of fan goodwill and generally good business practices. Haven’t exploded their budget on a hiring spree as if the success will keep paying out forever, have supported the game well and taken in player criticism, especially for this 1.0 release, fought Nintendo’s patent troll strategy in court (and it looks like it’ll pay off), and expanded into a spinoff while continuing to work on the original. Haven’t seen any greed on display, either

I wouldn’t call palworld similar to Pokemon or monster hunter in gameplay. It’s most similar to Ark Survival Evolved or other survival sandboxes Edit: that being said I got more out of Palworld than Ark by a wide margin. A lot of survival sandboxes like ark and rust expect you to play them like a full time job, while palworld enables you to automate most of the “work” so I personally enjoyed it a lot more

Man, remember when the only company that did creative accounting was Enron?

Alas, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

I know this is bait, but imagine calling out the ONLY major player selling drm free games with real ownership in this context

Sometimes we get “our competitor has made a very publicly ridiculed mistake, and now is our chance to gain favor with our audience by doing the opposite” and others it’s “our competitor has made a very publicly ridiculed mistake, but we really wanted to do that so now’s the chance while they’re taking all the heat for doing it first”

Yeah this guy is right. You don’t need games. We should shut down this whole community. In fact, destroy all aspects of society that have ever had the slimmest negatives that aren’t vital to daily survival

Same shit as amazon
