No one thought a game dubbed “Pokemon with guns” would go as far as it has. Have you heard about Palworld? Yes you have.

Nobody in game development thought this game would be as titanic a hit as it has been. But its success has come with scrutiny and intense discussion. Players, developers, and media personalities have all jumped on social media with strong opinions about the game ranging from jubilant to condemning.
