minus-squareLemmyTellYou@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39arrow-down3·4 days agoI’m not disputing that Palworld isn’t popular, but I hate when companies advertise with “40M players” 40M purchases is fine, which is very impressive for a paid game. If I buy a game, never play it or play it once, then I’m not ‘playing’ that game.
minus-squaretomi000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up42arrow-down1·4 days agoWell they cant say 40M owners because that would be a lie as well.
minus-squareLemmyTellYou@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·4 days ago“Copies sold” is a much better measure It bugs me when GW2 also does this with “over 12 million players” when actually it’s registered accounts. I know people who have and use multiple POF accounts obtained freely, including a guy who literally has 83 accounts and uses them all every reset.

minus-squarethingsiplay@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoI think they include Game Pass players as well. So it sold probably less then 40 million, therefore they go with the “Players”.
minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·4 days agoSorry, did we say players? We meant “40M payers”

Sorry, did we say players? We meant
“40M payers”
