For clarity, I think Palworld is not the developer of MHW? It's just a bunch of people calling out to go play the new game, so some companies are just giving everyone the day off.

Yeah, this is about the dev team behind Palworld (Pocketpair) giving their team the day off to play the new Monster Hunter game

Palworld sure knows how to keep their name in the headline tbh

Giving people a day off is always respect either way, even if management wants to turn into online shill op

Nice change from the "I don't care if he's dead maam he should be here and coding" stunts other software companies usually pulls.

So, you're saying this article is both a complete waste of readers' time AND a lukewarm shite ordered by mgmt to meet quota, keeping their owners "in the news"?

Hunh. That tracks.

I read it as more of a funny piece of news showing the end result of gamers calling out sick to play a new game en masse.
