Palworld Tops 32 Million Players

Yes by being the Pokemon with guns game. They should thank Pokemon for carrying them so far. The ride is over though and it's all down hill from here.

Palword numbers are really interesting

It really shows there is a huge market for games with capturing monsters as core mechanic. Everything Palword needed was to have good production value and a world that don't look like a PS2 games a bang, 30 million+ units even with mediocre gameplay

If a studio wants to invest on it, and make it good, it will sell a lot. Don't understand why nobody else tries it, afraid of Nintendo suing them maybe? 

Some Nintendo fans are still blindly salty about palworld being a "Pokémon copy" when it has far more in common with something like Ark. Weird how they were never salty about games that actually follow the Pokémon formula like Cassette Beasts, Tem Tem, Coromon or Evomon. As a game palworld is nothing like Pokémon.

But I guess when you sell 12m copies on steam in 2 weeks, faster than any Pokémon except Scarlet/Violet, that's when people start getting mad.

Palworld is nothing compared to Pokemon. Pokemon TCG pocket mobile game recently announced it reached 1,3B revenue in 1 year on the market. So even just one mobile project from Pokemon eclipse Palworld. Not to mention its 100M+ copies sold on console during the last 7 years, all other mobile Pokemon games, all the merch, physical card game, anime. Palworld is just a game which rivals to Nintendo are bankrolling to create an alternative to Pokemon on other consoles and PC, but it will always make insignificant money compared to Pokemon. The Pokemon brand has first mover advantage, ie it was created decades before its Palworld copy and will thus every year always earn so much more money permanently.

Pokemon's ability to release new console games every year with 10M+ sales potential also means that Pokemon will just move further and further ahead of Palworld when it comes to revenue generating abilities. One could argue that Palworld is more comparable to Digimon and Yokai Watch in its revenue generating capabilities than Pokemon.

No one is salty over Palworld lol. It's entire success is owed to Pokemon. I've played the game and yes you are correct it's a more fun ARK to me. The poster said something silly like if you can't beat them? The butthurt has always been from Palworld fans being jealous of an ip bigger than GTA despite all its flaws, suing some clowns over building a brand on the back of Pokémon. You are literally comparing an exclusive to a game going viral on multiple platforms (lightning in a bottle by the way)? Yet Pokemon fans are jealous lol, this will be the only metric between Pokemon and Palworld even remotely close between them. Imagine what a Pokemon game would do if it wasn't exclusive? Pokemon is a juggernaut that Palworld can't even dream of being. Palworld will sell 50 million in a 10 year time span at best including its explosive launch. Pokemon will add another 200 million sales in that span lol, no one is jealous but hurt Palworld fans mad at Nintendo.

You're salty as hell though 

Palworld fans also spread anti-Nintendo disinformation, acting like patent lawsuits aren't a thing for other game companies. The truth is that other Japanese game companies like Capcom have sued Koei Tecmo using patent lawsuits. So Nintendo is just like any other Japanese publisher. But due to PC gamers loving Capcom and hate Nintendo, they have to act like Nintendo is behaving in ways that other Japanese companies aren't, which is an entirely false narrative.

You created a thread about a lawsuit/patent you have nothing to do with, while I have done nothing but post facts. You are the salty one lol. 

Why do you think you care about telling this site about this news? Probably because you are salty.

It's a gaming related forum. I know you're not the smartest guy here but twink about it twice

Also posting facts like "PC gamers love Capcom and hated Nintendo"

"Facts" you got direct from your ass of course
