Palworld faces the difficult choice of whether to become a live-service game or stay buy-to-play, PocketPair’s CEO says
Palworld faces the difficult choice of whether to become a live-service game or stay buy-to-play, PocketPair’s CEO says
Palworld developer's CEO Takuro Mizobe talks about the possibility of the game switching to a live-service model.
How has this game not made enough money to finish it off and finish off their last half baked game too?
difficult choice
Is it? I thought this game make more than $570m in revenue?
But i guess it's a difficult choice to choose between money and more money.
The game currently has an average user base of just over 20k players and is dropping by the thousands every day. Going to a live service model wouldn't necessarily make them more money or be as sustainable as simply moving on to a new game.
They also might not be that great at managing money. They went from barely known to having a flash-in-the-pan hit out of nowhere. Plenty of other devs have collapsed under the weight of their own, similar successes because they couldn't figure out what to do with it.
20k and dropping by thousands every day? So you're telling me no one will be playing it in a week?
If it becomes live service I'm going to try get it refunded.
The game has a little news section that says that this interview happened months ago and that they are not going f2p or gaas.
