Palworld is a hit, and it's easy to see why.

The article is relatively sane, but oh boy the comments, they are a mud-wrestling match of crazy people, a heavy weight mud-wrestling match as none of them weigh less than three hundred pounds.
The argument going on in the article is that one of the 3D models used in the game has very similar proportions to one of the 3D models used in one Pokemon game... Because they're both fucking wolves. And anything with wolves in it is a ripoff of Pokemon.
The argument going on in the comments is that Palworld is nothing but a direct ripoff of another game... Though nobody can agree which other game.
Oh, and it's now sold 6 million copies with a peak of 1.5 million simultaneous players.
