MODERATORS
With the context of discussion, it's clearly just devs good and innocent, marketing bad. As if that main game page on the biggest game store in history wasn't unchanged for months despite controversies. So the devs either are: a) hostages of their hired marketing people b) completely disinterested how their work is being advertised c) perfectly ok with it
I haven't even looked much into Palworld, but what I did get from marketing blurbs was "what if Pokemon... but edgy and grimdark?"
Those Schrodinger's Asshole claims that the marketing isn't the game's intended way to play seem rather after the fact to me.
I heard similar bullshit about the "Postal" series and how a player didn't have to do any edgelord atrocity enjoying at all if they chose not to.
