Skins?

Are they really adding a system for skins before the game is even out... and the very first three will be exclusive to a twitch scheme?
Really?

This sets a dangerous precedent for Palworld's future, and I can already picture the skinpacks they'll be releasing as DLC.

This isn't the first 3 skins. The first was that cattiva that was added some time ago. I can sort of understand why people are just now throwing a fit about this, but it shouldn't have come as a surprise.

First promotions, then maybe ingame events, then comes MTX and the BattlePal.
Monotization can get pretty bad, but at some point one needs to understand that for a game to keep an online function, it needs an income beyond an initial pricetag. Free online services just don't exist in the world.

Updates after the game's release are another thing, they can be packed up as DLC; which would be fair game.

The online servers are... not something I care about. At all. They don't save your progress, wipe frequently, and are filled to the brim with hackers.

Skins are the stupidest thing to have ever existed. It's very clear that they are going to absolutely squeeze this game dry, they know they have a cash cow and there are plenty of dummies. Skins are hyper low effort, hyper monetizable, and pull developers away from what they should be doing... actually getting the game past release.

This is bad in more ways than one.

I think users can add their own skins? I think that's what the pal skin building text implies. not sure.
