Of course not, because they didn't do anything wrong. Just a bunch of pissed off pokemon fanboys pissed that Palworld was way better at the pokemon concept than Pokemon itself was.

Do people still play palworld or did it end up dying out after all the hype? I know a guy that bought it because of the hype, played it for a few hours saying how cool it was and hasn't played it sense.
I'm in the same boat.
"OH MAN THIS IS SO COol I can't wait for the rest of the content oh it turns out I can"
I've been having trouble putting my finger on what it is about it like that. I waited a little bit past the hype to play, and when I started I was completely hooked. Then I got busy for a few days and couldn't play it, but never really felt like picking it up again
I wonder if it's because it has a lot of different mechanics, but they aren't particularly deep? So it's addicting as you keep discovering new ones and how they interact, but then dies off?
I knew this would be the case when my friend insisted I buy to play with him. Hes an unfortunate barometer for games that will either lose hype quickly or get shut down soon after release. You name a game that had a hard fall off and he was its biggest proponent during its honeymoon period. Game had its servers shut down? He played the shit out of it.
Such a shame because your friend sounds like a cool person. I think it’s just that the gaming industry has become so bloated and mismanaged that a lot of new products are hyped to hell, then face plant hard.
He is, and I spent a lot of money buying and playing some of these games against my better judgement, but I can't do it anymore. Especially not if they're gonna charge a $70 fee just to start.
I think that's exactly it. You're excited by the promise.
That's how most games are lol. Of course you have your fanatics who have to play the new game and nothing but the new game (looking at the Abiotic Factor discord server), but once I finish the current content I'll move on to something else until a new update.
I'm cycling through Abiotic Factor, Selaco, and Going Medieval right now.
It got boring real quick
I'm kind of an early access freak, but I put in about 80 hours and enjoyed it. There were definitely problems early, and I don't plan on going back to it for at least a year, enough for them to release substantially more and it feels fresh.
Same here. I heard they released a handful of new upper tier pals but I'll wait for the next major revision to go back
I've heard that this Sakurajima update (wild name, btw) is pretty huge, bringing an entire building system overhaul, new pieces, as well as new pals and an entire new map.
I mean it'd be like Nintendo suing Cassette Beasts.
I think GameFreak has sat in its own shit too long.
These indies are coming right up their ass with ideas that were just waiting for the Pokémon IP and now GameFreak can't touch them. (The ideas not the lawsuits)

It had every right to take over the monster catching market back in the early 2000s. Cartoon, GBC game, trading card game, they had it all, and they wrapped it in a super cool dark comic fantasy setting with actual plot and raised the target audience by a couple years to grow along with the kids who were all crazy about Pokémon.
Well, the trading card game just had a successful crowdfunding campaign and THIS GUY just bought a bunch of the old cards to introduce my kids to the world.
It wasn't a game I played at the time, but I really enjoyed going back to play it last year.
Nice idiom!
Nintendo should get sued for trolling. And if we are at it, sue Nintendo for using ideas and art styles from other games as well.
I don’t recall Nintendo trolling.
I do recall Nintendo, in the most polite and businesslike way possible, telling its incessant dickriders to stop flooding its communication channels with the breaking news that someone made a game with a Pokemon-adjacent concept.
Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.
