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.
As a devout steam gamer… okay? I doubt the hardware was noteworthy anyway, and if you can afford a Tesla you can definitely afford a steam deck. Who is actually negatively affected by this?
Basically it means the majority of the game relies on drawing from a pool of rewards that allows duplicate draws and has high rarity entries. It’s gambling, put simply. And in almost all cases gacha games push you to spend real money for more chances at the good stuff.
Bear in mind there are games like God Hand where it’s constantly punishing as well. The game never gets easy, it just gets harder when you do well for too long.
Pretty sure that was already a thing years ago.
