Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog

• BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  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

    Right, and hopefully they stick to that. It used to be common sense that you make hay while the sun is shining knowing that it’s going to rain. Instead, most of this industry sees a success and then overspends past rationality on their next project expecting that to grow profits by the same amount.

    The big thing they did with the cash was start a publishing arm to help fund other indies. So far the biggest title to come from that is the pirate survival game Windrose.

    Here’s hoping Pocketpair continue being as awesome as they’ve been up to this point.

      Had no idea those games were related. Makes more interested to follow Pocketpair’s publishing endeavors.
