A new video game called Palworld is attracting players by the millions and is also causing outrage among fans of Japan's legendary pocket monster franchise. The game, which is similar to Pokemon but with guns, has sold 5 million copies in three days and is currently No. 1 on Steam for concurrent players. Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox division is also distributing the game, and some Pokemon lovers are outraged by the similarities between Palworld and Pokemon. The developers of Palworld have received slanderous comments against their artists and even death threats from gamers who believe that the game is copying Pokemon too closely. However, many other gamers say that Palworld more closely resembles ARK: Survival Evolved than it does Pokemon, which has been experiencing mixed reviews for its last few games.
