    OMG, stfu. No one is talking about “you’re still alive as long as someone remembers your name” type bullshit. We mean an active and engaged player base. That’s what a games “death” refers to. You are being incredibly obtuse.

      Who cares if there’s a huge player base a year from now? Really? This isn’t “you’re still alive as long as someone remembers your name”, this is the game literally still exists and can be played. To play multiplayer, ping your friend on Discord and host it yourself, even if that’s thirty years from now, but good luck doing that with The Finals or something. That game really will be dead in 30 years (maybe even 1 year). If Palworld’s population is in single digits a year from now, they’re still filthy rich, and people who bought the game still have access to it whenever they want. Nothing about the game is worse off for the population not being in the millions anymore.

      why does an “active and engaged player base” matter at all? you can host a personal/local dedicated server, so no worries about them shutting the servers off. the game has no larger community interactions beyond what happens on a server. there’s not even pvp that would suffer from a diminished player base.

      do you, like, only play games that other people think are cool?
