Palworld Dev Got Tons of LinkedIn Invites After Revealing New Brand

Pocketpair's Communications Director and Publishing Manager received an influx of LinkedIn invitations for the company's new publishing brand, Pocketpair Publishing, which was announced a few days ago.

John "Bucky" Buckley, Communications Director and Publishing Manager at Pocketpair, took to Twitter and said that his inbox was overflowing with invitations: over about 15 hours after the brand's reveal, he received 1,500 LinkedIn invitations and 68 emails. "We announced Pocketpair Publishing 15 hours ago... My inboxes were 0 before then...I think I might have underestimated how much interest there would be," the executive wrote.

When asked about the company's control during the potential work, John Buckley said, "We give you money. You make game," and added that they were not going to impose strict rules on the devs: "We're giving devs the financial freedom to make games they want so they DON'T have to get wrapped up with stinky rule makers and bullies":

These words align with Pocketpair Publishing's announcement, which stated that it would provide "funding, development assistance, and publishing for indie game developers and studios" while employing a "hands-off approach." The brand's first project, scheduled for 2025, will be a horror game created in collaboration with SURGENT STUDIOS. There's not much information on the upcoming title yet.
