Palworld devs assure players the game is \u201cnot a scam\u201d ahead of launch PocketpairPalworld devs are gearing up for the game\u2019s early access launch. As part of the build-up, they\u2019ve gone out of their way to assuage any fears by stating the game is definitely not a scam. Just in case you were worried. Palworld is so close we can taste the Lamball kebabs. It heads into early access in a matter of days with this early version promising over 100 Pals to collect and tame. The game\u2019s unique blend of creature collection, survival, and crafting mechanics have prospective players referring to the game as \u2018Pokemon with guns\u2019. Palworld definitely has creatures like Pokemon, and some of them do have guns, but there\u2019s a bit more going on than that. Now that Palworld is nearly here, Pocketpair has updated the game\u2019s Steam page with an oddly defensive change to the Q&A section. Devs have gone out of their way to communicate to prospective players that there\u2019s no funny business going on. \u201cIs this game a scam? Or is it a money-making MMO or virtual currency game?\u201d Pocketpair asked themselves in imitation of someone who might wonder. \u201cIt is not a scam, and will definitely be released on January 19,\u201d it responded. \u201cPalworld is a typical Steam game, you buy it once and it is yours forever,\u201d it continued. This might seem like a weird thing to qualify but they\u2019re likely expressing confidence that the game performs well enough not to get taken down like a certain zombie survival game. It might appear a little preemptive on Pocketpair\u2019s part but when the game was initially revealed, there were some accusations that it was a scam or misrepresented. Something about forcing adorable creatures onto production lines so you could craft munitions to shoot more adorable creatures looked too good to be true. Earlier footage of Palworld did call to mind those \u2018totally legit\u2019 mobile games that use footage from Final Fantasy games in their social media ads. We can understand why Pocketpair may have felt a little self-conscious. The good news is, Palworld is 100% legit. Multiple publications and content creators have received early copies and the footage floating around the internet shows that the game is everything it promised to be. Microsoft acquiring the game for Xbox Game Pass also doesn\u2019t hurt its legitimacy. You can play Palworld on Steam and Xbox Game Pass when early access begins on January 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
