I’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.

    Well they cant say 40M owners because that would be a lie as well.

    “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.
