PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a worldwide phenomenon, but make no mistake about it: it may not translate well if developers are serious about bringing it to the big screen, comic books, and turning it into a Netflix special.
From GI.biz: "Krafton, the Korea-based publisher behind PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, released its Q3 financial results alongside news on how it's expanding its collection of studios.
The company reported that it saw revenues of $328.5 million and net profits of $171.5 million, the latter marking a year-on-year improvement of 27%.
Krafton also announced it plans to acquire Neon Giant, the developer behind The Ascent, and open a new studio in Canada."
The latest PUBG update transforms the weapon meta in Krafton’s battle royale game, bringing changes to vehicles and Deston to make winning even harder
PUBG, the battle royale game from publisher Krafton, will be banned in Afghanistan in 90 days as the Taliban says it is a waste of time and too violent
incase you didn't know Taliban is a place not Al qaeda or however you spell them. Just saying
It’s an excellent game, but it has no defining personality or characters.
It’s like saying “everyone loves scrabble so we’re making it into a TV series”
Whatever the series is, it will be written from the ground up with very little of the current PUBG actually in it
PUBG is a copy of older games and does just enough more to gain popularity but people will get sick of it after a while once something better comes out.
Basically this:
Whoever fixes any PUBG problems and adds a ton of more content,variety and new gameplay elements, will win over a large portion of the PUBG crowd anyways.
I think it's on borrow time for now and will only be popular for another 2-3 years max, but by then I'd almost guarantee we see a better version of this from another dev leading into next gen.
