Maybe, just maybe, players want more new ideas rather than live services.

Palworld has a dedicated server accessible through steam tools, no license required. I use it myself for my family’s instance. The game is still in early access as well, and small improvements keep rolling out.

Wow, that a first for a corporation to allow.

Normally they just kill off games and release a pointless sequel.

Palworld isn’t exactly an indie game, but the developer, Pocketpair, is an independent and privately owned company.

My biggest pause for getting on this is linux server support… but actually i just checked and it seems to have come out! Neat.

Yup, I run it on my Linux laptop and use steam decks as clients.
