Market is oversaturated with Survival Games atm, we didn't need another.
Palworld is everything the real world needed.
from the moment this was announced I had a feeling it was never going to make it to market.
The survival genre is oversaturated and overrated anyway. Not a big loss imo
Absolutely for the best. This type of game isn't a blizzard strength, and given their issues with the rest of their roster of games outside of WoW, shouldn't be a time to try something new.
.. another Duke nukem projecto
really trying to corner the boomer market with mobile and survival games LOL
I don't want to consider what modern blizzard would do with a survival game character creator anyway
This was the only thing I was looking forward to from Blizzard :(
Not too sad about it since BG3 raised the bar on gaming Blizzard should probably improve their running IPs
Once I read "President Booty" I couldn't focus on the rest of this article....
good, it would have been another modern blizzard cash cow predatory scam I'm sure. they already rake in so much from their other games, just focus on making those actually fun.
Ark Survival Ascended is on Top atm, so the Market dont need another SV Game
So they are gonna actually work on WoW now? Or will they continue to this "I am just here for my monthly paycheck and dont care at all about the quality the product"? DF's real thematic was this. Unfortunately unless they have fired those ppl explicitly from the blizzard divison, we can expect the World of Warcraft to continue degenerating into World of Shrinkflation with the facade of hardworking employees and fair management.
Honestly this game was doomed to fail from the beginning.Like Hots it was announced well after the survival market was saturated with games who established themselves allready as mainstays.Hope the keep working in their existing IPs. A SP game ala Witcher or Mass Effect in Starcraft or wow would be amazing for example.RPG are not a trend. They have been and probably always will be selling well.Mobas and Survival Games have their few top dogs that will stay around forever because they are a live service.If they want a new live service game as succesfull as OW1 they need to tap into something newer. Or make an old trend big again like SC2.
People keep whining about how the survival market is saturated and then I look at Palworld and it has over 8 million players and is second most played game on SteamI think it's safe to assume the average consumer knows $%^& all about market saturation or profitability.
