PUBG Has Sold 50 Million Copies, 400 Million Players Total
PUBG Corp. just announced that they have reached the incredible number of 50 million units sold on the platforms PC and Xbox One. When including PUBG Mobile, they have over 400 million registered players world-wide, with over 87 million of them playing PUBG every single day.
To celebrate this epic milestone, they have decided to have the first ever sale of PUBG, at a price of $17.99, until July 5th. Could be that sales are going down, possibly driven by Epic's Fortnite, which has a bigger player base now, and is available for more platforms.

Couldn't have said it better myself. ;)
And Fortnite is just a poor man's PUBG. :D
These game play appeals to the masses and I, along with many of my friends, enjoy the ease of partying up, playing a few games and calling it quits for the evening.
Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean it's crap.
Also the battle royale of Fortnite is free as you know and if you spend $10 bucks the first time you play it you're basically guaranteed the battle pass for the life of the game and all the unlocks that come with it... pretty great value. (unless they raise the cost)
Not all game i dislike i insult, because it's possible that it's just me not liking them, this isn't part of them, this is crap, and you should admit you like it, i mean there's nothing wrong with it, me, myself like many crap movies or videogames, but the difference is i wouldn't act that pissed if someone came to me a said "hey that game is fkin crap", actually i wouldn't be pissed at all, because i'm actually able to distinguish between "crap" and "stuff i don't like".
Also i never said you shouldn't enjoy it or anything, i would never, who am i to do that? On the other side, i can say when a game has a poor design and aims at casual players (for easy money), due to my pretty long past in videogames, and i'm also pretty sure i could "teach" some of that to most of the players who play that crap.
I mean; who would have believe 10 years back, that these types of games would hit the roof? Land somewhere, grab your loot (if you survive the first 2 minutes that is) and continue on until the end, any fucking thing can happen, and that is what makes this game very great.
Battle royal is pretty much last man standing...
Thats been around since Quake.
And a whole game based on it ...
Is so backwards.
Then again pc's have gone backwards...
Eg icons in windows where 16 colour, 256colour and 16bit colour.
Windows 10 the default is monochrome or 2 colour....
So it no surprise they rebrand some old crap as something new take out all the good bits and it sells.
Each to there own.
