If I was looking to either invest in or buy Pocket Pair , the first thing I would ask myself is do they have the ability to make different successful games or is Palword it and if the answer is no or more likely at this point not sure then the focus shifts to does palworld have what it takes to be a long term successful franchise or will it fall away over time and if so how much investment is needed and how much does that conflict with Pocket Pairs want to stay small .
