Palworld has taken the world and the internet by storm. As of writing, it’s cleared over 7 million copies sold on Steam alone, has the second most concurrent players of all time, and is lighting up Twitter feeds with, you guessed it, discourse.
From Nintendo fans upset by its similarities to Pokemon to those accusing the game of plagiarism and AI-generated art, it seems like the internet can’t stop talking about the cynical creature capture game. Of course it doesn’t help that recent game industry layoffs and the continuing development of AI programs that some feel are both displacing and preying upon creators have been big conversations the past year, creating an extra level of scrutiny towards games that might feel a bit too iterative.
This week on Spot On, Tam and Lucy shed light on some of the biggest conversations surrounding the game, delve into a few of the points game developers and legal experts are making, and offer up a bit of their own insight on the matter as well.
Spot On is a weekly news show airing Fridays in which GameSpot’s managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James talk about the latest news in games. Given the highly dynamic and never-ending news cycle of the massive video game industry, there’s always something to talk about but, unlike most other news shows, Spot On will dive deep into a single topic as opposed to recapping all the news. Spot On airs each Friday.
