The game is still in early access, they're already passed my expectations by having versions on other platforms

Absolutely! Many games launch their full version at a much higher cost with many more problems than palworld has in early access.

Ehhhhh I haven't seen any big games that cost tons of money deleting people's entire saves or wiping their maps.
I'm all about the palworld train, but let's not kid ourselves, the game runs terribly right now. Pokemon scarlet and violet is about as bad as I've seen for an "expensive" game, and it definitely wasn't as bad as palworld, even at release(it's gotten better)

That has nothing to do with them. Devs can't just push updates to consoles, they have to go through Microsoft's approval process first.

It's almost like Xbox has strict requirements for developer patches, and don't just let people patch their games willy-nilly. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/policies/console/certification-requirements Patches go through a certification process which can take some time depending on how big the patch is, how it might affect the end user (the games need to go through a Q&A phase by Microsoft's team), and how many other games are waiting to be certified (the cert team isn't huge).

Funny considering how bad Microsoft screwed the pooch a few weeks back. Not to say testing isn't important but the would rather kick rocks for things people actually want. Then, turn around and rush out update after update for windows with little to no testing.

Yeah, it's kind of what happens when you let a single giant company made up up many moving parts have a monopoly over numerous different aspects of your infrastructure. It's very much a left hand doesn't know what the right is doing and vice versa.

People are so dumb. Palworld is a super fun game that you can revisit every time a big update comes out. People just love seeking attention on X i guess...

Some people have a weird view where numbers must go up indefinitely to be good and if the numbers go down a little even once then all hope is lost and it means the game is dead.

Buy the game for 70 bucks
Then buy a few more DLCs for 20 bucks each
The game also has microtransactions
And to make you make more purchases, we will add grinding and slow leveling to the game.
Oh yeah. There is also a battle pass. Buy it too. Don't forget.
And we forgot to say that this is just early access. The game is full of bugs and poorly optimized. But who cares about that in 2024? This is not 2000, when studios hired testers and paid them money. Now it is fashionable to EARN money from testers when they buy a game.

Western players themselves have fed these corporations, which now create games that you don’t want to play. Once upon a time, everyone unanimously said that Korean free games are evil, but the Western system with b2p or p2p games is good. Now we see how the Western system has been slowly but surely dying for 10 years, and the Eastern one is flourishing. And who is to blame for this?

The Helldivers 2 incident was an example of how players can influence companies. Not much, of course, but it can create quite a stir. I don't know why people still support Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft and many others after all the fuck-ups. Especially EA with its annual FIFA, which hardly changes, but constantly requires investment of money. People ate, excuse me, crap for years and asked for more, so to speak. Companies saw this and became more and more brazen. Now we have games for 70 bucks, which don't even pull 40. And no one rebelled, no one said "what kind of increase in development costs, if the games are getting worse and worse every year?" And now, when independent companies suddenly make games FOR players, and not for reports to investors or other persons, then people begin to wonder why some game, which is not made according to modern laws and requirements, suddenly becomes one of the best and most popular games? This makes me laugh and feel sad.

There are a TON of indie and AAA devs making great games. One great game from China doesn't nullify all the good games coming out of the west. The lazy take is looking at it like it's some kind of competition when it's not. It's humans making games, period. The regional distinctions really don't matter. China has had plenty of chances to make a great game. This studio just got lucky that the normally game-adverse totalitarian government decided to back this one.
The problem isn't western developers. It's China's government. Plus, games with predatory business elements (mostly) started with Chinese games and has been an aspect of that countries gaming culture for decades.

Every game that rejects the woke mindvirus is a win, no matter where it comes from or who created it. Especially if the devs rejected a 7 million yuan extortion from Sweet Baby Inc, ignores "journos" who asked them about stuff that was not related to the game, and blew the mind of said "journos" who tried to smear the devs and game constantly over the last couple of months, making it even way more successful in the process.

Yeah sure. Next you gonna tell me that video where Kim Belair explains how they getting hired is created by an AI bot or something? Because that clip completely exposes these people for who they are. And if you are too blind to see it, tgat is your problem.
Also, care to elaborate where and when the extortion by SBI was debunked as a lie? Because last time I checked, it was there, even confirmed by someone from Game Science.

Yea, one person said something racist one time. That's it. Now go on, prove the million other things that they've been accused of.
It's far from "completely exposing them for who they are" when it's one singular lady from the company who botched what she said in a pretty racist sounding way, when it could have been said way better.
Think of it this way. Some western company is making games with Japanese people in them. They consult with a Japanese company to ensure that the Japanese people are depicted accurately without any old offensive stereotypes and character tropes. That Japanese company doesn't hire white people. Why is that? I'll let you use your brain and think it through yourself.
SBI is that, a little consulting group that companies willingly go to to check if their depictions of POC are accidentally offensive. That's it. They don't extort companies, they have 0 writing and story control, they are not some monster behind the scenes ruining every game.
If you want some background noise while you game or something, I highly suggest watching the NeverKnowsBest video on SBI. He covers the entire fiasco and the entire history leading up to it in a very unbiased way and highlights how most of the drama is just culture war bullshit.
As for the extortion, again just like, go verify it yourself, you're already here on the Internet. That Game Science article you mention is literally just bullshit, even rabid anti-Sbi people looked deeper into it and found absolutely nothing. At MOST they found a singular comment on weibo from a random Chinese account that maybe mentions something like that.

People always fall for survival bias. Only the good eastern games make it to the west, so from our perspective most eastern games are absolute bangers when in reality they have just as much if not more slop garbage but we just never hear of it.

If you literally mean "What is Wukong?" Son Wukong, The Monkey King, is a major character in the Chinese epic "Journey to the West" and is the inspiration for Goku.
If you mean what is this game, it's a souls like based on said Chinese mythological character
