I run a dedi server in my garage. Me and my kids still play it at least 2-3 times a week. Far from dead. People have just settled into their servers and the general hype train loons have moved on.
I'm not sure I understand why this statement is here. Palworld isn't a live services game. This isn't a "new idea"... this is how it's been for most games since the dawn of gaming... You can play offline just fine. You can run a dedi host just fine. It's a decent (not "great" but unique) genre of game that works great for my family. If it was live services it would no longer work for my family. I don't let my children onto those types of games. They're not old enough and for sure not mature enough.
It still gets updates, and before I click my dedi server I see the lobbies... They all generally seem occupied. According to https://steamdb.info/app/1623730/charts/ there's nearly 50k players playing right now... That's not a small number and puts it in top 30 overall.
