These threats and harassment have been directed towards the team in response to recent accusations of plagiarism.

“Currently, we are receiving slanderous comments against our artists, and we are seeing tweets that appear to be death threats.

I have received a variety of opinions regarding Palworld, but all productions related to Palworld are supervised by multiple people, including myself, and I am responsible for the production.

I would appreciate it if you would refrain from slandering the artists involved in Palworld.”
