Should player count numbers matter all that much?
A game's player count is a fascinating metric for a lot of people. Since sales numbers are often hard to come by, player count is a way for fans to see how many people are playing a game, and gauge a game's success. Unfortunately, the availability of those statistics can lead to more of the same drama that so often circulates on social media. Pocketpair's community manager"Bucky" reminded fans just that in a new post shared on X/Twitter.
"Palworld had 2mil, then it had 15k, now it has 140k…it's not something to get angry about. In a few weeks it'll go down again, and next major update it'll go up. That's just how it works," Bucky writes."Palworld could have literally 1 person playing it and that won't take away from the fact that YOU played a fun game and have fun memories of it."
This is not the first time that Pocketpair has addressed this topic of conversation. In a post back in February, just weeks after the game's launch, Bucky called the player base discourse"lazy," telling fans that they"don't need to feel guilty about hopping from game to game." It's sometimes easy to forget that no one ever expected Palworld to do these kinds of numbers, and the game's success has far exceeded expectations.
Do you put a lot of stock in player count numbers? Is Palworld still holding your interest? Share your thoughts with me directly on Twitter at @Marcdachamp, on Bluesky at @Marcdachamp, or on Instagram at @Dachampgaming!
