One of the highest funded games of all time, and yet there is not much being done on the game.

This is a game that literally made over 100 million dollars in profit in LESS than a week. Why are the amounts of patches and improvements to the game minimal at best?

Highest funded game? Arnt you a little silly.

This aint a high funded game. Thats just profit that steam didnt even pay out yet. Steam wont pay untill at least the refund period is over and then there's set dates by Valve so the developers havnt seen your money just yet.

they did not once say this is the highest funded game

It's uh, in the title...

[Dronos Drakkar]

think he meant highest grossing as they only spent 6-7 mil to make this game which they made over 200mil on so far in gross revenue

[Ryvaku]

It's a smaller team too.

But they didnt recieve that money yet, fdor obvious reasons, valve has policies for that.

Valve holds payment for 30 days. So the first time they possible wil lsee money is 19th february.

Steam doesnt quote topic titles.

This game has already got hotfixes and the devs are just a bunch of novices that just hit the jackpot. Probably the biggest issue for them as of right now is servers and capacity. Once they get past that, hopefully the patches will be rolling in. This is literally version 0.1 of the game.

Think they were expecting ARK type style patching. You know, the 500mb to 2gb patches daily that fixed textures, sound errors etc. Was always nice going to play ark and having to download another game's file size because of a texture glitch lol.

actually they made that money through crowd funding the 6-7 mil who cares if they got the other 200+mil or not think about it 3-4 years of development 6-7 mil between 4 people they're still living comfortably off of that even after expenses for anything that had to buy vs designing themselves. this is all assumption as they haven't listed expenses to know for sure

They hired 50~ people for palworld and please source me about crowdfundingg cause I dont think that's ever been a thing.

[GroovyHobo]

I'll say this, if they let this game die it will be one of the dumbest decisions ever. Very important for them to follow through on this game to completion. 1.0 release someday. Then pokemon and other games will be forced to compete.

[Blue Jet Lightning]

You think they can just hire a ton of people that can fix everything? Throwing money at a problem has never been a fix, just look at these huge IPs that fail every year and took way more money to produce and design. You are asking an indie company to make triple A patches bud, they have a small team and it takes time to scale up to this level of profit. The whole company is probably restructuring around how popular this game has been. Don't worry, I'm sure we will see big things from Palworld. They'd be fools not to continue this cash cow.
