Pocketpair publishing head John "Bucky" Buckley says Palworld haters aren't making much of a difference when it comes to the development of the game.
GamesRadar+ asked Bucky at GDC 2026 how he would define a Pocketpair game, to which he responds, "Apologies to all the professional Pocketpair haters out there, but it's made by the players." He explains, "Over Dungeon, our very first game, what it started out as and what it ended as are very different, because of what the players wanted. Craftopia has changed so many times based on what the players wanted, and is still changing to this day based on what the players want. And Palworld – even, you know, Palworld two years ago versus Palworld now, are different."
