"We're going to see more hit games coming from publishers you've never heard of" – Pocketpair and the indie publishing revolution

John Buckley, head of publishing at Palworld creator Pocketpair, argues that traditional publishers are out of touch with the current industry, offering outdated deals. Pocketpair Publishing, established after Palworld's success, aims to offer more favorable terms to developers, focusing on marketing and support without ownership of intellectual property. Despite ongoing legal battles with Nintendo over alleged similarities to Pokémon, Pocketpair remains committed to its survival crafting genre and expanding the Palworld IP with spin-offs.
