You'd think after Palworld swooping in to claim a portion of the pie, GF & TPC would be wise enough to realize that they might not be able to afford another buggy mess. At the same time though, the atmosphere in Japan, from what bits & pieces I have heard of, seems to be the opposite of the West with the people there often siding with conglomerates for cultural reasons.
So really, anything can happen at this point. What I do know, though, is that thanks to SMTV existing on PC, I don't have a reason to buy a Switch anymore.
