Hello everyone! I had been seeing so much controversy about Palworld that I couldn't help myself from making this video. I then did a deep dive which honestly could have been deeper about plagiarism in the gaming industry. As an aspiring artist, plagiarism and inspiration often get confused and I hope that my video adds food for thought as well as enlightens you on my personal takes.

Thank you all for your support and I will see you all in my next video (for sure this time sorry I got sidetracked): Belief and Kung Fu Panda! If you’d like to support the channel then subscribe, share this with your friends, and support me on Patreon.
