&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I am dreading my next game, because it’s PlayerUnknown’s Next Game . And there’s going to be eyes on it. No matter what I do, there’s going to be a lot of critics going, &#039;Well, it’s no PUBG.&#039; And I’ve accepted that – I am not going to make a game that’s going to get like, three million concurrent users, and tens of millions of players every month. But I’m not aiming to make that. I want to make a game I want to play, and if other people want to play it, that’s fantastic – but ultimately, if they don’t, I’ll still have a game that I can play. So that’s my outlook: I’m probably going to get sh*t on, but that’s o&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The former esports star has one of the biggest Twitch channels on the site, with over 3 million followers tuning in to watch the skilled shooter rack up kills in [https://Pubgstation.com/ PUBG Maps] , Fortnite , and other games in the battle royale genre. He is so popular that, in the last month, Grzesiek and fellow Twitch star DrDisRespect partnered up with PUBG to have weapon skins created in their honor, with sales conveniently wrapping a week ago. Grzesiek’s success shows no signs of slowing, even while PUBG finds its numbers drop by over half due to Fortnite’s growing populari&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For the uninitiated, an &amp;quot;asset flip&amp;quot; (a term coined by YouTube personality Jim Sterling) is when a game is made primarily of pre-made assets, as opposed to original artwork or designs.

Not only does he plan to continuing improving the popular multiplayer shooter - PUBG &#039;s developers admitted to failing players recently - but he plans on making sure it becomes an eSports staple. Greene talked about the importance of hiring former Riot Games chief marketing officer Jung Hyun Kwon, and hopes to replicate the success of League of Legends in the Korean market, which makes sense now that games like H1Z1 are attempting to push Battle Royales into the eSports ar&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Rigney acknowledges that the Erangel map, PUBG &#039;s first map, is a combination of store-bought assets and in-house content. He then said that the Miramar desert map was also built with a combination of in-house content and store-bought assets, though it used less pre-made assets than Erangel. &amp;quot;As our in-house art teams built Miramar, they began to rely less on store-bought assets, although they continued to use them strategically, because it just doesn’t make sense to build everything in the game world yourse&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It&#039;s also unclear how this ban will impact Shroud&#039;s upcoming appearance on PUBG&#039;s Squad Showdown on July 13, an event PUBG Corp is hosting with Twitch Prime in commemoration of Amazon&#039;s Prime Day (Twitch is owned by Amazon). Shroud was slated to play in the showdown alongside several other top Twitch streamers, but this temporary ban may put a halt to t&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The patch is among the game&#039;s biggest updates, bringing a weapon balance overhaul and map selection to PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds . The update also adds a new muscle car to Miramar, and a new 7.62 DMR called the SLR. The new vehicle is exclusive to the Miramar map and can be found in downtown areas and on main city stre&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The VSS and Mini14 were the only DMRs to get a damage buff, while the SKS actually got nerfed; DMRs will also now be harder to control because of vertical and horizontal recoil combined with a decrease in recoil recovery &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds may not have created the battle royale genre, but it certainly popularized it.

Developer PUBG Corp. has attempted to sue Fortnite and other games for their similarities to its game, a decision that has been criticized since PUBG itself has been accused of being an &amp;quot;asset fl&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;It&#039;s a game-changing item that can impact the outcome of a match - basically, it gives you an extra life in situations where a headshot would otherwise kill you,&amp;quot; developers said. &amp;quot;We don&#039;t want luck alone to determine who gets items like this, so we&#039;re removing it from normal loot spawn tables and limiting it to care packages on&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds _ creator Brendan Greene aka PlayerUnknown never expected the Battle Royale shooter to become such a huge hit for his team at Bluehole, but with success comes pressure.

&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It&#039;s been a slow, but steady, decline for PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds &#039; player count this year. By the end of February it had lowered to around 2.8 million, according to Steam Charts . In April, it finally sunk below the two million player mark, and it hasn&#039;t managed to rebound aside from one good weekend in early May. Now, it&#039;s finally below 1.5 million, and the trend continues downw&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The company may be in the midst of suing biggest rival Fortnite for copyright infringement, but it hasn&#039;t stopped Brendan &amp;quot;PlayerUnknown&amp;quot; Greene from being able to look proudly at his creation.

From June 19-July 5,  [https://Pubgstation.com/ Pubgstation.Com] newcomers to PUBG &#039;s battle royale world can pick up a copy for just $19.99 (a reduction of 3&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Dubbed a progression-based system with unlockables, a second Steam announcement revealed that PUBG &#039;s event pass will also launch on June 22. There will be daily, weekly, and Sanhok-based missions to lure players to PUBG . While it sounds like a great idea, there are some major drawbacks. PUBG &#039;s pass must be bought with real-world money ($9.99) and will only last for four weeks instead of the whole season. The event pass will have free and premium options, but those who choose the free options will only be able to temporarily unlock new it&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As the team grows, it makes sense that it is able to create more original content as opposed to relying on store-bought assets.

Sanhok has already been live on the test servers through four testing periods, but the time has come for its general release as developers promise yet more changes to what the test gamers have already s&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Why should one of my artists spend two weeks on a generic sculpt if they could instead spend that two weeks adding real value for players elsewhere?

Coming exclusively to the PC version of the game, PUBG &#039;s third map will be 1/4 the size of the other two, which makes it conveniently close to the dimensions of Fortnite . As well as a new locale to explore, players are also being lumbered with more controversial ways for PUBG Corp. to make money thanks to a Fortnite -inspired event p&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As PUBG and Fortnite continue to duke it out at the top, let&#039;s not forget that other battle royale titles are out there vying for the attention of players too. The likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V are introducing battle royale modes, so there is some stiff competition for **PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds ** . For the time being though, let&#039;s let Greene and the company bask in their success of 227 million players each month and a supersized sales figure on PC and X&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The event pass was put in place after developers decided against DLC content, saying they didn&#039;t want to divide gamers into the &amp;quot;haves&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;have-nots.&amp;quot; Ultimately, PUBG is still asking players to part with their hard-earned cash and has done nothing to address its sluggish and punishing progression system. Adding to this the unfair odds of the loot boxes (which they&#039;re also charging for to unlock) and PUBG will need to do more than introduce a new map to win over its crit&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Rigney acknowledges that the Erangel map, PUBG &#039;s first map, is a combination of store-bought assets and in-house content.

Thankfully, PUBG has a trick up its sleeve with the new Sanhok map. Getting a game-wide release on June 22, Sanhok - a mix of the Thai word &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;chicken&amp;quot; - will join fan-favoite maps Erangel and Miramar but add a taste of Southeast Asia. Elsewhere, PUBG confirmed it will be getting a snow-capped winter map later this year as w&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Rigney went on to assure fans that the most recent map, the Sanhok jungle map, was made with even less pre-made assets, and that the upcoming winter map , will have an even higher ratio of original cont&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PUBG is a flurry of activity at the moment with the various updates and weapon balances , however, is it a case of too little too late? Fortnite has been a literal powerhouse of late, meaning that even some of the most hardened PUBG players have jumped ship for the more colorful delights of Fornite . And there&#039;s only more competition on the way with E3 2018 around the corner sure to debut multiple new battle royale experiences. Whether or not **PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds ** can be the goose that laid the golden crate remains to be seen, but one&#039;s thing for sure, there&#039;s gold in them thar hi&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The former esports star has one of the biggest Twitch channels on the site, with over 3 million followers tuning in to watch the skilled shooter rack up kills in PUBG , Fortnite , and other games in the battle royale genre.

In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG ’s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;15 major suspects including &amp;quot;OMG&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;FL&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;火狐&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;须弥&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;炎黄&amp;quot; were arrested for developing hack programs, hosting marketplaces for hack programs, and brokering transactions. Currently the suspects have been fined approximately 30mil RNB ($5.1mil USD). Other suspects related to this case are still being investiga&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Either way, it&#039;s good to see updates regarding anti-cheating measures and justice in the form of a $5.1 million fine. PUBG continues to expand with an AMC Walking Dead partnership , a new map , a new mode and a variety of other updates as it continues to dominate the gaming scene alongside competitor Fortni&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;However, the facts remain: Fortnite is here, free-to-play, and, unlike its Battle Royale inspiration, doesn’t include any &amp;quot; gambling &amp;quot; for skins. PUBG , on the other hand, features randomized crates earned through regular play, with premium crates unlockable by keys. Those keys need to be purchased with real money, which leaves players unwilling to buy them, which leaves the option of either keeping unopened crates inert in their inventory or selling them on the Steam marketplace. These mechanics foster an elaborate economy, generating a system which fuels continued income to the game. On the other hand, it also creates undue frustration for many of its players, all of whom have already spent money to purchase the game in the first place and feel put off by microtransacti&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The video and subsequent response from PUBG has left fans split over whether their frustration should be directed at the brevity of the ban or the underlying problem the game has with cheaters. Hackers frequently appear in matches, messing with actual players in order to advertise their work. The game’s anti-cheat system, BattlEye, announced back in February that they had banned over 1 million players, yet the problem persists. Towards the end of the clip, Grzesiek appeared to address the issue. &amp;quot;It really goes to show that PUBG, full offense to you guys, don’t give a s*** because that guy should have been banned immediately.&amp;quot; He doesn&#039;t appear to notice the ir&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Over the past year or so, it&#039;s become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 &#039;s Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG &#039;s mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG &#039;s biggest streamers - but they are looking to change that going forw&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Either way, players can&#039;t interact with the chests (yet), meaning the latest addition is nothing more than a golden easter egg right now. It is likely that the chests will eventually open to reveal something big, but on the other hand, Bluehole could simply be trolling gamers as a nod to Fortnite &#039;s treasure chests. It may be a way to bury the hatchet between the two studios, but it would undoubtedly leave players miffed that the chests turn out to be a Pulp Fiction -style McGuf&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;With Fortnite eschewing loot boxes entirely in its Battle Royale mode (although individual seasons offer their own unique cosmetics, similar to Overwatch ), it’s already ahead of the curve. Perhaps by the time Sanhok arrives, the wait for for a more stable game will seem like it was worth it. However, with a never-ending stream of cosmetics and constant reminders for microtransactions blemishing player inventory, all while many of them experience blatant performance issues, PUBG Corp. should keep running — that blue wall might be closer than it lo&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds &#039; next big update, Patch 12 , will be arriving on live servers on PC soon. The patch will go live Thursday after four hours of maintenance that will start at 7:00 p.m. on May 2. The update will also reset the leaderboards and the new season will begin when maintenance e&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Many also made jokes about the PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds developer issuing &amp;quot;copyright strikes&amp;quot; against the game, in reference to a YouTube policy that allows content owners to issue copyright strikes against channels that have infringed upon their copyright. A few others suggested that Battlefield V &#039;s battle royale mode may bring about the demise of Battlegrounds as the competition will just be too hot to han&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;At this point, it&#039;s too soon to say whether the game will completely eclipse PlayerUnknown&#039;s Battlegrounds . After all, Battlefield V has a multiplayer mode and a single-player mode, which are things that may take away the focus from its battle royale mode. It also means that the development team will be unable to completely focus on the battle royale game mode, something that may work in the PUBG team&#039;s fa&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;However, the PUBG player base has already been heavily impacted by the stratospheric rise of Fortnite Battle Royale, a game which has won celebrity endorsements, celebrations from professional athletes, and multiple national news segments about its impact on children. Battlefield V isn&#039;t the only major rival either, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 &#039;s Blackout battle royale mode also posing a threat. Moreover, these games will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, whereas PUBG is only available on PC and Xbox &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Over the past year or so, it&#039;s become clear that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been a huge influence on gaming in general, with its 100-player Battle Royale mechanic leading to games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 &#039;s Battle Royale modes. With the recent release of PUBG &#039;s mobile version, the title is even managing to keep some semblance of pace with Fortnite , which eventually blasted past it in terms of Twitch presence on a platform formerly dominated by PUBG &#039;s biggest streamers - but they are looking to change that going forw&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Some hack programs that are being distributed through the internet includes a Huigezi Trojan horse*(Chinese backdoor) virus.

Although 50 million copies have been bought for Windows PC and Xbox, that means the other 350 million were downloaded for free on either Android or &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As to be expected, many fans of both PUBG and Battlefield responded to the tweet. In particular, many people made jokes about the ongoing lawsuit between PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale , suggesting that Battlefield developer DICE is about to get sued &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;EA opened its E3 2018 press conference with a bang, finally confirming that Battlefield V will have a battle royale mode .

There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we&#039;re officially involved in the proje&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Anyway, I&#039;m getting riled up here lol. Back to the story. The Madison folks were doing great work, so they began to take on more and more worldbuilding work. Miramar came about as result of collaboration between the new, PUBG Madison team and the Korean team at HQ in Se&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;As for map selection, the developer explains that players will be able to pick just one map on its own (either Erangel or Miramar) to ensure that they will play there, or they can select multiple maps and the game will randomly select &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In the same discussion of the similarities between the two titles, Chang Han Kim, had also implied possible legal action against Epic Games, especially following reference to Player Unknown&#039;s Battlegrounds in the marketing for Fortnite&#039;s battle-royal mode. Now it seems that the company decided to follow through on these warni&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The post reminds PUBG players that this is the first time a balance patch like this has been introduced and that it will be trialed on the test servers before going live. Weapon attachments will undergo similar changes, although the post doesn&#039;t reveal exactly how the armory will be affected. Elsewhere, the lauded level three helmets are being confined solely to supply drops. Effectively an extra life to players, the level three helmet was crucial in protecting your head from those sniper sh&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;According to our research, only a few specific types of weapons (ARs) are used in most situations. We believe the choice about which gun to use should be based on personal preference and its effectiveness in any given situation, rather than simply &amp;quot;which gun is strongest.&amp;quot; Our goal is to make it so no one gun will feel objectively better than the oth&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;This means that no one weapon will be better than the rest, instead, forcing gamers to pick based on their own personal preference or what sticky situation they find themselves in. While some of the more popular ARs will undoubtedly be knocked down a peg or two, it also means that other fan-favorite peashooters will get seriously jacked up in the firepower sta&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It&#039;s important to remember now that regardless of how successful PUBG Corp. and Bluehole are, new battle-royal titles are appearing at a faster and faster rate. The main example of this is coming later this year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , which is set to feature a battle-royal mode called Blackout and is sure to also cut into other games player bases. The point is that there is no stopping the tide and most fans just want all these games to live together in harmony. Is that too much to &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Parachuting from the sky and taking out opponents in a last-man-standing deathmatch on a shrinking map is proving to be just as addictive as it was last year, despite constant competition from other battle royale games like Fortnite . However, listening to the wishes of its fans, PUBG Corp. is constantly striving to change the gaming experience for the better. As the devs introducing a major patch, prepare for things to be a little different on the battlefi&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;With the arrival of Fornite season 4, developers at Epic Games showed exactly how to use viral marketing to its full advantage. While PUBG isn&#039;t quite taking that tact just yet they did introduce weekly events in recent weeks to keep up with Fortnite alongside a major update.

Although Sanhok isn&#039;t live yet in the main game, PUBG has been slowly opening up more of its secrets with each PC test period. As well as adding more detail and buildings with each update, fans have noticed more important changes - just like the golden chests. Whatever these chests are will continue being a secret for now, but everyone is praying that it is something more interesting than just another loot box debacle . PUBG is one of the major games still doing random pay-for loot boxes and it&#039;s one of the reasons Fortnite is going to continue killing&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Others say the real problem is that Grzesiek’s punishment isn’t really punishment at all.
