Count me on the crazy camp. This small studio was founded in 2015 and has already released several games that have gotten more acceptance from the public than most of the games put out by some of the veteran studios that Microsoft acquired recently. I mean, metacritic scores and award nominations are cool, but in the end mean nothing if nobody plays your damn game.

You do realize that you just made a list of SP games of various genres (ranging from niche genres to popular genres) and compared them to a Open World Online MP game right that pretty much copied from Zelda Breath of the Wild right?

You know..the games that people get - play it once and drop it after finishing the main campaign lol

Currently 511 players for a MP oriented game (with a 27,000 all time peak to boot) is pretty piss poor especially since Craftopia should be compared to these games as follow

You say metacritic and award nominations...but the more recent reviews of Craftopia are downvoting it because the developers abandoned Craftopia for Palword. Craftopia has been on Early access since 2020, we're in 2024.


I'd be surprised if Palworld ever gets off of Early Access cause like what Ryu just posted, the developers are clueless. They got lucky with Palworld. They should count their blessings.

Edit: Also several games? They only released 4 games.

So.. you want me to compare it to other multiplayer games.. okay, sure, here we go..

Here is the thing, while you look at these people and see a bunch of "clueless" developers. I see a bunch of people that are looking around and assessing what exactly people want and are giving it to them. They are not trying to be "creative, artistic, innovative" or none of that nonsense that gamers love to say they want but then reject when they actually get it (See: Immortality and Pentiment); Nope, they are looking around, determining what exactly people want, and are giving it to them (and are now showering in money because of it). Yep, those are exactly the kind of "clueless" people that I would want on my team.
