Easily. I honestly think it'd threaten PUBG with highest concurrent.
I have depression and I love depresso. It's not that serious.
You're certainly welcome to think that, friend, just as I'm allowed to think it's shitty
Are we really doing the "well if Pokémon was on Steam, it have just as many players" level of cope? This is not a good look.
Palworld is a new thing getting attention that's getting more attention from controversies, to curiosity to people playing what their friends are playing.
Pokemon is a nearly 30 year old franchise that people have experienced and already know their feelings on.
It's a knee jerk post / reaction with next to no thought put into it only said to defend X from the praise the new hotness is getting. That's all.

Obviously more lol.
I don't see a point in speculating when it's just not feasible for most indie devs to do every platform at once.
Depresso is just pure mood. I don't even play but I would die for them.
Bonus happy Depresso picture I found on Twitter.

This game is gonna sell more than S/V lifetime. Really easily if they put it on PlayStation.
The substantial updates are really gonna help it too.
Cope? Someone asked, we answered. Pokemon week 1 numbers are higher than Palworlds, so it's not really much of a debate.
a brand new Pokemon game with an even wider audience would sell gangbusters. If it were a game that "people have already experienced and already know their feelings on" it wouldn't sell over 20 million copies on the Switch alone.
Also, fine form claiming it's to undermine talk of PalWorld's success when a PalWorld player posed the question in the first place.
Easily?😆
You should really take a look into what kind of games reach even 1 mil on Steam. And how big franchises that are mostly single player fare there. This isnt a dig against Pokemon btw, Ive been a fan since playing Blue. But Steam demographic doesnt over lap at all with Switch/Nintendo.
It could very well top 23 million (mind you Pokemon will continue to sell so no idea what the total will be). It's not an impossible feat at this rate.
Haven't really paid much attention to this game or the stuff around it. Have Nintendo let slip the legal dogs of war yet?
I don't know the legal intricacies around the game and it's similarity to Pokemon, but if there's a series I'm happy for people to rip off it's Pokemon because Pokemon itself has been a pretty cynical moneymaker for a long time. Let 'er rip.

nvm, not worth it
These Palworld threads fucking suck, man. People are doing a great job of sucking any potential decent, legitimate discussion or fun out of them. Some of y'all need to lighten the fuck up and stop finding things to get mad at just for the sake of getting mad at them.

I'm saying someone posed the question "would Pokemon sell on Steam" and we answered. We gave our honest thoughts. How is that a kneejerk thing on our part when the question was asked of us?
Certainly true for most of the top 20 no doubt, but I would take a beat that most the people that heavily play on pc, also played Pokemon growing up. Playing a Pokemon game that doesn't run like ass would see insanely well. I do think it would easily pass it, but you are right about the types of games that get that high concurrent. Sad things is we will never know because Nintendo/TPC/GameFreak would never do it.
I think between 10-15 million, with sales dropping off a cliff after a point as Pocket Pair is slow with their updates and doesn't deliver on a lot of their promises, based on how they've basically abandoned a lot of their other EA titles.
Those weren't printing money. They are not gonna vivisect the goose laying golden eggs, come on.
At the current sales rate, Palworld selling over 23M LTD seems pretty likely to me tbh.
I despise the apparent artistic theft as much as you btw, but there's no point in denying Palworld's viral popularity.
Nah, this game is def gonna make a huge run well beyond 15m
Don't ever EVER tell me IP doesn't color people's judgement on this site. Watch people fight tooth and nail to defend a broken game that was never fixed one week and then gleefully act like something else that runs even better is worse.
The only thing I will tell you is that your message posted twice
UwU
Edit: site must have glitched . fixed now lol
Oh it surely does. The Pokemon IP makes you incredibly irrational lol
I mean you adress one of the biggest issues right there. It WOULD run like ass. GameFreak has trouble getting it performing well for one Single platform, and for PC gamers who all run various rigs that can be a major issue in devoting playing time. Never mind the other reasons that also see triple A singleplayer games mostly staying in 6 digits regions.
Would it sell well?
Yes of course (if Nintendo dropped the price a bit)
Would it EASILY get near PUBG in terms of concurrent users?
Yeah sorry but no.
Steam owner per country
It's not a matter of vivisecting it on purpose. It's a combination of factors:
1) Pocket Pair has admitted that they are extremely inexperienced with developing the game this way and only pulled it off with the help of a couple of "miracle workers", telling me development will be slow and therefore kneecapping interest
2) They have shown themselves to be very poor stewards of their other games, flaming out and leaving them in EA and having to rush out a new product to keep money coming in
They're basically not prepared for this shit and even if they have a financial head start thanks to this game's run away success, I'm not convinced that Pocket Pair has the experience or the ability to keep the ship afloat
It doesn't have to be that way, I think people would be welcome to a pokemon title trying to get as high of a concurrent playerbase.
If Palworld comes out on PlayStation I think it's a wrap for my prediction of 10-15 million. Game is easily breaking 20, especially at that price.
This was also the case with PUBG, If i remember correctly. The game is still huge there.
I only mention it because of its absurd CCU count.
I think I believed (because I totally mis-interpreted what I read) it was a rare glimpse and India/surrounds and it was getting a lot of numbers there.
They are gonna have a real Raichu problem in their hands with Depresso if they ever get around to evolutions. Having to come up with a direct "upgrade" to the face of your IP.
If you watch the CCU, you'd know its bigger in Asia than anywhere else. And that's generally going to be China by sheer numbers and PC gaming there is respectably large unlike, say, Japan.
Describing Palworld as "if America invented Pokémon" is simultaneously hilarious and sad.
It has turned to the Person Eating Crackers thing. No matter what it does, people will find a reason to get mad. Hell, remember that Twitter guy who said the mesh of two models were the same? Well turned out that was a lie. People who want to hate, will hate.
How dare you enjoy something.
How dare you attempt to take away my identity of making everything miserable.
As someone who plays Go, its a free game on mobile. Not at all comparable to what the topic was, how much a single player 60 bucks game would do on Steam in terms of reaching concurrent player counts.
It's not a direct competitor but I'm sure the Pokémon Company are musing the idea of developing a Pokémon survival game on more powerful hardware than the Switch.
