I think they are just riding the wave, I did not know them, I saw the waves of marketing attempts but survival crafting genre is never my thing. (I had my fill during the Don’t Starve/Subnautica time, and unfortunately I do not like them as game mechanism. ) I still didn’t even checked the gameplay videos even though they pop on my youtube feed.
We will see in about 2 months and see how many still playing Palworld, if they can still keep 40% of their peak number then their loop is good enough to keep player engaged. (roughly similar decline happened after Baldur’s Gate 3’s peak.)
