Palworld Dev Criticizes 'Forever Games' Trend

Community Manager John Buckley argues that playing the same game continuously is detrimental to players and the industry.

Overview

  • Buckley believes that focusing on a single game enforces the trend of live service games, which he views as harmful.
  • He suggests that players should explore a variety of games, especially indie titles, for a healthier gaming experience.
  • Palworld's player count has dropped significantly since launch, but Buckley reassures that this is not a negative sign.
  • The developer emphasizes that not all games are designed for long-term play and that expecting them to be is unrealistic.
  • Buckley calls for a shift in gaming culture towards enjoying diverse experiences rather than sticking to one game.
