Palworld is an alternate take on Pokémon at a time when the colossal franchise feels stagnant and slow

    As far as I can tell The Day Before was overhyped early and people bought it because of the marketing

    https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDayBefore/comments/lwaach/people_keep_saying_its_a_scam_whats_the_scam/

    That’s a 3 years old post. Everybody knew it was a scam back then. to the point the studio released “We are not a scam, trust me bro” statements (which made it more obvious it was a scam)

    I don’t remember hearing about it before

    Internet has been talking about “pokemon with guns” for 2 years or so since the developers were already famous because they launched a “Breath of the Wild” knock off (Craftopia) that also sold well (not at the same level of palworld, but for being the first title of a brand new indie studio it sold really well)

      Apparently not everyone knew the day before was a scam or it wouldn’t have sold millions of units. Just because some people predicted it does not mean that the general population had any awareness of that expectation.
