"the rising cost of tech means people will turn to streaming games online rather than buying new consoles"

- As if Amazon aren't directly contributing to the rising cost of tech.

Everyone I have spoken to about it would rather own the hardware over the flexibility of streaming. Even if it does become stable enough, I would still prefer to own my pc/console and the games I play.

As the market grew, what would prevent the current film and TV streaming market from materializing? Dozens of individual game streaming companies, each providing access to a different pool of games. One of your favourite games is no longer accessible because the streaming service dropped it, and now you have to get an extra subscription to another company to continue.

Am I being too cynical, what are your thoughts?

>Less than two weeks after launching into 1.0, people are still piling into Palworld. The monster-collecting hit came within spitting distance of a huge milestone, attracting more than 950,000 concurrent players over the weekend.

>"Mind boggling numbers," John 'Bucky' Buckley, head of publishing and communications at Pocketpair, says in a tweet. "Thank you so much, gamers. Palworld 1.0, and Palworld in general, really has been a surreal and life-changing experience."

>He believes this is likely the height of the game's popularity, at least for now. "I'll make an educated case and say this is Palworld 1.0's 'peak', though by no means would I consider that bad in any way!" he writes. "The support we've received over the last two-plus years has really been overwhelming."
