Palworld developer addresses controversy as game advances in The Game Awards voting

Palworld, a game by Pocketpair, has sparked controversy after advancing in The Game Awards voting, surpassing 20 other titles. The game has faced criticism since its launch, including a recent lawsuit from Nintendo. Pocketpair's community manager, Bucky, defended the game's popularity, stating that the public voting system is being questioned because Palworld made it to the final ten. He noted that other popular games were eliminated in the first round. A significant update for Palworld is expected this month, which will be six times larger than the previous update. The game continues to generate strong reactions from the gaming community.
