“Palworld” is an indie critter collector survival game, which means that players need to craft supplies and build bases to survive. As we briefly touched on while explaining what exactly is “Palworld”, part of that gameplay loop includes making your virtual animal companions, known as Pals, work in factories to build equipment for you.
Using animal labor as a substitute for machine automation is morally questionable at best. When that labor is used to craft guns you can use against other Pals and players, the morality gets even murkier.
Players have already found ways to capture other humans in-game as well, which takes “Palworld” from the tricky world of virtual sweatshops right to virtual slavery.
