Enshittification marches on

Piracy is ALWAYS morally correct!

They’re being shady. Remember the lead of Pocketpair also owns a cryptocurrency exchange (Aka, a massive damn scam)

He’s going to run away with the money

It’s worse because this particular company has a habit of doing a bunch of unfinished games. Palworld, Craftopia and Never grave are all by the same company. They’re all also unfinished.

Pocketpair is also 100% not an indie company as the head of Pocketpair is already a Businessman who owns an exchange for cryptocurrency

It’s exclusive to PC and XBox just FYI. They have a contract going on with Microsoft that forbids them from releasing to other platforms.

Considering that Pocketpair can’t even seem to be able to finish their other (highly plagiarised) games “Never Grave” and “Craftopia”, I’m not spending a single cent until they actually finish it.

Why are we holding big corpos accountable for selling unfinished games that later get patched with free DLC, but then allow a faux indie company (The CEO of Pocketpair actually is a businessman who owns a crypto exchange. So not at all an indie company) to do the same for the same price as the whole ark survivor bundle?

Seriously the Palworld spam is getting extremely annoying. And any critique of the game is immediately deflected or gets you a raging mob of capital G gamers whining at you

Lmao you clearly haven’t played Ark.

Seriously “#1 sold game on steam in 2024” ah yes, because that’s a good metric when it’s been only one month and the biggest titles have a tendency to drop in December

Tbh I feel like a point should be made of sharing without adopting the culture. I found that oftentimes greentext centric communities end up with similar vile behaviors and language usage.

A common sentiment is that apparently it’s okay to use slurs. Lemmy greentext did a good job at not doing that so far.

Excuse me I can’t read that. What did you mean?

What do you expect? 4chan is infested with incels

And dwarves fortress

(FYI, by raw numbers Minecraft is still the #1 popular game. Not relevant to the discussion but a neat statistic. It’s kind of mind boggling how popular that stupid block game is)

Palworld gameplay isn’t even remotely similar to Pokemon. Its basically Ark Survival that just so happens to have plagiarised pokemon designs instead of dinosaurs.

I kinda wish they didn’t go such overt plagiarism in terms of design because then Palworld could be a nice game on its own

Check out mystic quest legend. It’s old but it’s intensely stereotypical

I’d like to clear up some myths. Not sure why stuff keeps getting perpetuated

It’s pretty much just ARK with more barebones gameplay and cute artstyle, yea
