They worked hard and make very good money. ( Not made, make, since they keep developping Palworld and get more sales along the way. )

Seems like they didn't refuse an opportunity for a fat pile of cash and extra hands from Soyny. The ''extra hands'' will likely rot everything they touch though.

If the check was fat enough I'd probably say yes too and retire. But many independant developpers are very attached to, and love their work.
