“That’s not the intention”: Palworld May Defy Labor Laws but Takuro Mizobe Never Forced Players To “use a Pal as a shield or a snack”

Palworld is an extremely fun survival game where you would need to do a lot of things to keep yourself alive, even if it means defying labor laws when enlisting the Pals to construct shelters or other things necessary for your survival.

The game does defy labor laws, but it still does not force you in any manner to use Pals as shields or snacks; however, things might come to it if you are faced with a difficult situation in which you are desperate and ready to do anything to ensure your survival, much like you would do in real life.

Palworld offers players immense freedom

Palworld’s open world Is full of possibilities, and the game offers an extremely customizable experience within which you have all the freedom in the world to approach it in any way you like.

Players are not forced by any means to use Pals as food or shields; these darkly comedic elements are just a part of the freedom the game offers. It is completely up to you how you would want to approach it. You are often defying labor laws by overworking your Pals in the game, which is another comedic element of it.

This humorous take on the game reminds players of Genshin Impact’s Paimon being jokingly referred to as an emergency snack in the game. These elements are often used by developers to give comedic relief and nothing more.

Takuro Mizobe, the man behind the game, talked about his humorous approach to the game, justifying how he has made sure to not make eating your Pal a necessity in the game. He said:

People talk about ‘Palworld’ as if it’s an evil game with no heart, but that’s not the intention,” Mizobe said, noting players aren’t forced to, say, use a Pal as a shield or a snack. When you’re hungry and you’re dying, you’d do anything to stay alive, right?

Palworld’ is designed to be a game with a high degree of freedom so that players can take action according to the situation at their own will.

The wide array of options available in the game is what makes the experience of playing extremely fun and liberating at the same time. The game is currently engaged in a legal battle with Nintendo.

Exploiting labor laws is a playful exaggeration of resource management in Palworld

Defying labor laws in the game is more of a playful exaggeration of resource management in the game rather than a real-life issue. You would often find yourself overworking your cute Pals to ensure survival in the game.

The game does offer morally ambiguous options, but the intent behind it is not to enforce them but rather to invoke creativity, enabling players to adopt unique ways to approach the game and create player-driven stories.

Palworld is a blend of many genres, which makes the game unique and helps it stand out from the crowd. It is a one-of-a-kind survival game that has a lot to offer. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
