Best-selling game?

I'm not sure that last paragraph about being the best selling game is actually true outside of some narrow window after launch. 75.162.253.36 (talk) 01:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a source to back up the claim, then I don't see why it isn't true. If there is a counter-claim, then it could be put here and the editors can evaulate it. However, considering the sequence of events, the likely-hood of being one is very low. 82.1.168.16 (talk) 15:10, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palwork IS an Unreal Engine 5 game.

The screenshot is taken with Steam build executable. It build with UE5.1

When they did the migration, it was in UE4.

You can verify that data with your own steam build executable. https://imgur.com/a/MknNel2 142.198.244.105 (talk) 22:50, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palworld or PokeZoo?

Original heading: "Some guy deleting statements of fact" ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering why some guy keeps deleting statements of fact regarding the CLAIM palworld was being investigated (Unsubstantiated, no source) when it was actually PokeZoo (Substantiated, proof provided) that was shutdown 24.36.192.244 (talk) 19:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is about the material added in [1]. Soetermans, NegativeMP1: Thoughts? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reading the sources, I'm not getting the impression that they support the claim that the Nintendo statement was about PokeZoo and not Palworld. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you find a source where nintendo went after palworld? Just curious. It was also speculation. There is, however, evidence in those articles that within 5 days of the statement, Nintendo (And affiliates) had Pokezoo (Metazoo) shut down. thats verifiable.
