Arc Raiders and Marathon aren't "dead" just because their concurrent player count has dropped, Palworld lead says – but he's "not denying that some games do 'die'"

While acknowledging that some live service games do fail, he believes many can sustain a healthy player base with just a few thousand daily players and criticizes the premature labeling of games as 'dead' for views.
