PUBG Ranks In Top 10 Best-Selling Video Games Ever

For the past six months many gamers have been discussing pay-to-win loot boxes in games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2 , a title which removed gameplay buffs from purchasable loot boxes due to backlash. Many have also called for games to only offer cosmetic loot which only changes a character's appearance rather than their ability to do something in a game so that those with more money to burn do not have an unfair advant


Now, that date has arrived, but Dr DisRespect's revival had something of a bumpy start. His stream was due to start at 2 p.m. ET, and very quickly picked up 350,000 concurrent users, but not before the entire site was plagued by a series of technical issues that even managed to break the front page. The streamer then stated that he had broken Twitch over on his Twitter account, although eventually things did get back to normal on the platf


Exactly where Dr DisRespect goes now, though, is another matter entirely. The PUBG streamer has had an intense relationship with his Twitch fanbase, as shown by his previous tears during a stream , and that's likely to continue now he's made his return. Who knows: perhaps he can even break his own Twitch record in the fut


Even with stiff competition from Fortnite Battle Royale , Battlegrounds has persevered. However, it's worth noting that the game has had a long-standing issue with cheaters. Gamers who play PUBG - which features 100 players skydiving onto a large map, looting buildings, and fighting off each other until one player/squad remains - have had their gameplay experiences marred by constant cheaters who've avoided being banned. While the studio has undergone numerous purges of said cheaters, nefarious players continue to crop up daily, and it's becoming an issue for PC players who've supported the title since the very beginning, even when PUBG officially released without fixing its biggest iss


However, as PUBG Corp's comments about the Ghillie suit note, certain cosmetics can be used to benefit players, by camouflaging them in certain areas of a map . PUBG Corp. may have only identified the Ghillie suit as a beneficial piece of loot, but what of the other cosmetic content that players can collect in paid-for cra


Dr DisRespect finally made his return to Twitch.tv today, and in the process managed to take the platform down. The streamer, whose real name is Guy Beahm, is one of the most popular around, and his caustic personality has gelled well with Twitch users. He's the (self-proclaimed) "face of Twitch" after all! The former video game developer has managed to pull in huge numbers with his PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds streams, leading to the doctor becoming one of the biggest Twitch celebrities and winner of two awards for it last y


Since then however, a team of its devs went to Thailand for some inspiration and are taking player feedback, their own ideas, and things they see into consideration for evolving this new map. That's the main benefit of getting Savage playable super early before it's really built


The lawsuit does cite a number of specific instances, however, including a particular "rural aqueduct" that appears in both titles, the use of a frying pan as a weapon, certain armour or weapon parts cited as "near-exact copies," and the repeated use of the phrase "winner winner chicken dinner," which was used in marketing material for NetEase's two games. NetEase was involved in a legal case alleging copyright infringement last year , but ironically, in that case they were the ones filing the suit alongside Blizzard, against a Chinese clone of Overwatch. NetEase actually oversees the Chinese localization of the Blizzard ti

It seems like a lot for one year, but with the amount of people still playing PUBG and the boom that is happening right now in the battle royale scene, PlayerUnknown and the team at Bluehole are in for some stiff competition and they'll have to work hard if they want to keep up.


Bloomberg 's Yufi Nakamura reports that PUBG has hit over 30 million in sales on PC (as of the time of this writing), with an addition 4 million sales coming from the recent Xbox One release, thus bringing its total to over 34 mill


"You’ve heard us talk about open development a few times, but what does that really mean? For Codename: Savage it means we’re going to be building the map as you guys play it. We have months of work left to do; beyond refining the experience and making changes that impact balance, we also plan to add new vehicles, new weapons, and most exciting in our eyes are the new areas that we think will set this map apart from our first t

And finally, for you developers out there, Bluehole is working on a PUBG Developer Portal and API that will allow developers to create "compelling resources for players." The API will include match data at the match-level, season-level and lifetime-level, allowing developers to create custom games within PUBG News itself. This in hopes that it will help eSports groups create and manage games for broadcast.
