Palworld loses two-thirds of its playerbase in 2 weeks

Now we wait and see if the developers actually stick around and live up to their promises or move on to the next thing.

I mean yeah, from what I understood it's only the bones of the game that's there with very little meat. In pokemon equivalent, you have only the first "gym" available.

I mean I said when it blew up that this would happen. It's very much a "flavor of the week" kind of game.

Never saw the appeal in the first place.

Disagree. The bones of the game are good. It's going to have staying power.

wow you guys are

SALT TEEEEEEE

I mean great for the devs and people who are still into it, but anyone could've predicted that there would be a drop

There's probably going to be a further drop and a sizable chunk of people won't come back

Doesn't mean it's a bad game, but it's how these things tend to go with early access games

ok?

so non-story then?

Everybody played it all at once, now it's being spread out more and people have calmed down. It's still being played a ton for a game that's in really access with only the most basic content implemented.

There's not even PvP battles yet.

Don't get Wings started I put him on ignore because of his rabid Palworld nonsense

It's an early access, open world, survival crafting game. There's dozens of other games like it on steam. The only differentiator is that it's got enslavable not!pokemon to industrialize your crafting. The game was always going to be a flash in the pan. I'm more interested to see what the game will be like when they decide it's no longer early access.

guess we have to go back to our niche games that maybe 1000 people play at a time now.

It'll be more interesting to see what happens in like, a few months. When the hype completely moves on to other things and there's reason to stop caring. Like after the hype died out on stuff like Hogwarts Legacy.

There are 4 other "leaders" you can fight, but the game doesn't make it very clear they exist and you just kind of stumble on to them if you manage to take time to explore instead of managing 3 bases.

What is it with the modern conception that people should be playing games indefinitely? Most actually good games aren't live service and trying to FOMO you into playing every day for years. Anyone playing Palworld from launch has probably put anywhere from 20-60 hours or more into the game by now... when exactly are they supposed to stop?

totally not a scam btw

If you don't play the game, why do you care how well or not it does?
