POCKET PAIR Reveals Plans to Combat PALWORLD Cheaters

Developer Pocket Pair has recently announced its commitment to combating cheaters in the popular game Palworld. The surge in cheating has led to login issues and server problems, but by the end of February, the developer aims to roll out a feature allowing players to report cheaters. This will enable the identification and banning of dishonest players. Additionally, Pocket Pair plans to follow up with an external anti-cheat solution, though details on this have yet to be clarified. Palworld, released for PC and Xbox, has already reached 19 million players since its launch, becoming an instant hit despite some controversy for its similarities to the Pokémon franchise.

What is Palworld and why is it controversial?
nPalworld is a game where players collect and use creatures called pals to assist with tasks and provide protection. It has raised controversy for its resemblances to the Pokémon series, with situations where pals can be harmed or exploited, which sharply contrasts the more family-friendly approach of Pokémon games.

Background Information:
nPalworld is an open-world survival crafting game developed by Pocket Pair. The gameplay revolves around capturing and training pals, creatures that resemble Pokémon, to help in various activities such as fighting, building, and farming. The game has received attention for blurring the lines between cute creature collecting and more mature themes such as exploitation and violence. Due to the success of the Pokémon franchise, any game bearing similarities is likely to draw scrutiny, with Palworld being no exception, leading to discussions around gaming ethics and the treatment of virtual creatures. Despite the controversies, the game’s player base continues to grow, proving its popularity and market appeal.
