Makes me wonder how much money they get from Pokemon as opposed to how much Nintendo gets from it.
If they set up their career openings page to support multiple languages, they’d likely get a lot more applicants.
Also, palworld.com is an insane website.

What in tarnation
They weren’t kidding
It’s like the early 00s vomited all over their website.
I miss ugly web pages that had moving backgrounds, blared unmutable music, and had the worst color scheme on the planet, so everyone who visits the page knows about the owner.
I’m a sucker for badly designed sites with tons of esoteric information.
That site reminds me of the Time Cube site lol.
Agreed. If they can get an English speaking engineering lead, they would have so many applicants, especially with recent layoffs.
A techie with both language skills would be highly valuable to them.
Yeah if an american company is struggling to find workers, the best thing to do is always to offshore it to chinese workers.
Oh shit. The propaganda is off the scale.
Holy shit I thought you were joking but my eyes just went insane
Well with all the bullshit layoffs there should be plenty of candidates
That’s a good problem to have, isn’t it? Your product got far more popular than you predicted that it would.
Sudden success has killed lots of businesses.
Not more than sudden failure though. :)
Usually that affects businesses that either provide an online service, so their costs spike massively, or are selling physical objects where demand so far outstrips supply that customers leave entirely for something else.
A single player / selfhksted multiplayer game like this is much less vulnerable to those aspects.

It was reported they were spending half a million USD a month on server costs. A lot of the servers are player-hosted but there are also official servers hosted by PocketPair. Half a million won’t immediately crush them with their current sales numbers but it isn’t great either.
Honestly no idea why they even have official servers.
That’s a fair point.
I’d be down but I require my own personal bucket of thumb drives
