    I wonder how all the “Lawsuit incoming” doomsayers feel now? They were so sure too, almost smug about it. In the end it was a massive gamble but it seems to have paid off hugely for them no?

      Are you talking about lawsuits outside of the half dozen Nintendo patent ones? Because those seem to be ongoing.

    So in short, according to their head of publishing ans communications, Pocketpair is pushing spin offs because there’s player demand in the market.

      I mean they aren‘t totally wrong but farming games are the most low hanging fruit for high demand and low supply for traditional video games. They will only expand into genres with lesser potential after that.

      I‘ll wait until the release update of Palworld to make a final judgement, but right now I think they shouldn‘t diversify their game catalog too much and focus on their core game. They won‘t be able to catch lighting in the bottle twice.
