), Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe was asked about whether Palworld will switch to the live-service model in its lifetime.

"When you think about it from a business perspective, making [Palworld] a live-service game would extend its lifespan and make it more stable in terms of profitability," Mizobe said. "However, the game was not initially designed with that approach in mind, so there would be many challenges involved in taking it down the live-service path."

While I understand that the live-service model is good for business, it’s not that easy."
