Pocketpair Publishing Opens: 'We Give You Money. You Make Game'

Pocketpair Publishing Opens Its Doors, Sparks Overwhelming Interest

Amidst an ongoing legal battle with Nintendo, Palworld developer Pocketpair has launched its publishing arm with remarkable success. Pocketpair Publishing, which already has a horror game in development with Surgent Studios, is now fielding inquiries from eager prospective partners.

Studio Publishing Manager Bucky has expressed both excitement and surprise at the overwhelming response. Within hours of opening the gates, he received over 1,500 LinkedIn notifications and 68 email inquiries. "My inboxes were 0 before then... I think I might have underestimated the interest," Bucky remarked.

Despite the influx, Bucky maintains a composed demeanor, emphasizing the studio's commitment to creative freedom. "We give you money. You make game," he declared. "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."

To clarify any misconceptions, Bucky further explained that Pocketpair's partnership with Sony is solely for marketing physical merchandise, assuring that the studio remains fiercely independent.

The open call for submissions has generated a diverse flood of proposals, including innovative ideas alongside speculative web3 and AI-generated concepts. However, Pocketpair remains focused on its mission of finding "fun games."

This initiative aligns with the growing trend of indie studios gaining prominence and using their newfound resources to fund creative endeavors. As small-scale teams continue to disrupt the gaming landscape, Pocketpair's publishing efforts promise to further empower indie developers and foster a vibrant gaming ecosystem.
