@AterNox depends on the development state of the game. Back when I bought it, if I would have known what I know now, I would have only paid about $15 for it.
It wasn't very complete and still isn't.
For comparison, I paid $30 for 2 versions of Minecraft. Minecraft is the most popular game in the entire world and has infinitely more content than Palworld in its current state.
I don't expect to pay full price for an early release game. I usually expect the price to be raised whenever the developers feel it's more feature complete. In this case, they've barely got the first major update out the door and are contemplating making it entirely free, which makes my $30 feel REALLY wasted.
