Palworld, an ARK-like game described as Pokemon with guns, has seen concurrent player numbers swell into record-breaking territory this week. But according to execs behind the game the team is not celebrating, choosing rather to spend the time preparing for an attack from their most feared enemy: Hbomberguy.

Yeah if this game was “edgy” the pals would be punched full of bullet holes and lying in gorey pools of blood or exploding like fo3. Its not edgy, really, at all. Its just got guns in it??

Leaning into the forced labor and slavery part is what I think is edgy. It’s an opinion, can’t tell someone what’s too edgy for them lol

Having played many hours, the game isn’t like that at all just the marketing, I haven’t really seen more emphasis on it being slavery or forced labor than any other game where you control creatures

Not trying to tell anyone what’s too much for them, just mean to share my experience

Yeah they made the first trailer a bit dark and edgy but that was just to generate controversy to get people talking about it, which clearly worked extremely well

Every comment I read about the actual game being edgy just has me like
