    Oh? All those cosmetic additions and zero content didn't make them relevant? No Wai!

    Daybreak missed a great opportunity there to profit from the BR hype train. Not much more to say about it really.

    Which wouldn't be a consumer issue....  If only they hadn't utilized crowdfunding to even build the game in the first place.  This is the exposure that crowdfunding puts on the dev; you're not being funded by folks who just wanna see dollar signs, how be damned.  You're being funded by folks who want a certain experience.
    H1Z1 was funded by "folks who just wanna see dollar signs" - pretty sure it was anyway.  With pre-order sales being used for e.g. Landmark which had "alpha launchs".

    Don't disagree that crowd funding doesn't create "issues" but not in this case. All down to management decisions etc.

    Yeah and PubG is a whole lot of game in comparison to h1z1,it is the exact same thing.All that happened is people get bored need a new hangout,i mean the exact same day Fortnite was turned into the same thing,it had a ton of players all doing the same thing as well.

    I understand that my fave fps of all time is and likely remains to be UT99 was just an arena shooter but it never pretended to be a mmorpg or anything else at all,other than a modding game.

    Using that example,H1z1 pretended to be a building game,a zombie game,NEITHER are prevalent and not in PUBG either.Fortnite did at least try to do something different,add a unique idea to the game with building on the spot but imo also looks fake/dumb.

    IMO the maps are a huge component to quality pvp and NONE of these type games offer skilled maps and not even a good choice in weapons,pretty much one dimensional across the board,trees/rocks,ak47/shotgun,gas to force players to go where they might not want to go,so no choice.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    It was, at least in part, crowdfunded.
