Despite its popularity, creature collector survival game mashup Palworld hasn't come without its fair share of controversy among other developers and fans – but according to Pocketpair's communications director and publishing manager, criticism of the game has no "impact" on its success.
John 'Bucky' Buckley reveals as much in a new online post, responding to a fan who dubs "hate" surrounding Palworld "performative" rather than genuine. "My life is Palworld 24/7, and I promise you, you only ever see people ranting about it on Twitter and Bluesky," the community lead explains in his reply. "It's an easy 500k views, which is why it'll always be topical to whinge about. It is what it is."
