"Phantom Beast Paru" has once again become the center of discussion. The official recently announced that they will launch a physical trading card game in July this year, which immediately caused an uproar among players, with many voices questioning whether this is just copying the套路 of another popular card game.

Designer Buckley was angered. He rarely took a firm stance on social media, bluntly stating: "It's your own problem if you still criticize after two years." As soon as these words were out, it instantly sparked a debate.

Speaking of which, "Paru" has never been quiet since its release. It was initially accused of plagiarism during the early beta testing, and even faced lawsuits. Buckley admitted that he understood players' doubts at the time, but now that so much time has passed, why repeat the same criticisms? He feels this has gone beyond normal boundaries.

Regardless, the launch of this card game has indeed caused polarization within the community. Supporters look forward to new gameplay, while skeptics believe it is still just repeating existing patterns. The development team seems somewhat exhausted by the ongoing comparisons — this can be seen from Buckley's tone.

Whether it is creative inspiration or pattern copying, each has its own opinion. But what is certain is that the "Paru" IP is currently at the center of public opinion. How the upcoming card game performs may provide some answers to this controversy.
