Amid the shocking news of Romero Games suffering widespread layoffs after the funding for its next game vanished during apparent publisher Microsoft’s own layoff wave, fans have latched onto a sliver of hope offered by John ‘Bucky’ Buckley, communications director and publishing manager at Pocketpair, the Palworld studio and the home base of Pocketpair Publishing.
That being said, that hope currently begins and ends with a simple tweet from Buckley, who responded to the statement shared on Twitter by Romero Games and studio director and CEO Brenda Romero. “Would love to hear more about this project if possible,” Buckley said.
The dream, which folks replying “Save them Bucky” and the like have clearly envisioned, is easy to see. Pocketpair Publishing, a publishing arm established specifically to spend some of that Palworld money helping more indie games get made, swoops in and saves Romero Games from financial duress. It would be great if that does happen, but that hypothetical is skipping far into the future.
