Palworld dev slams player count criticism, says fans ‘don’t need to feel guilty’ for game-hopping
Palworld reached nearly unprecedented highs, with more than two million active players on Steam alone less than two weeks after launch. Those numbers have drastically dwindled over time, but at least one developer is far from worried and doesn’t want players feeling “guilty” for dipping out.
Bucky, the community manager for several of Pocketpair’s games, including Palworld, is calling reporting of the roughly 70 percent decline in the game’s active users on Steam over the last few weeks “lazy.” It isn’t a hit at the people writing those articles specifically but more acting as a way to explain that it is no big deal since Palworld isn’t meant to hold players like some live-service games.
