BR fans wanting a change from pubg with something that had

Fewer hackers. That's why we left pubg to die. Refusal to region lock China and the abundance of cheaters.

to die

It’s still right there on the list at number 3.

Fair point. But I mean that PUBG is dead to western audiences.

I wish we could filter that chart by region, it'd be a pretty interesting stat to see. I imagine it's >80% Asian players.

I'm not stupid enough to think it's exclusively them, but man it's frustrating how much people complain about "Chinese hackers" ruining multiplayer games.

It use to just be assholes modifying their gamertags in Modern Warfare lobbies, but now it's shit like "invades you in Elden Ring and corrupts your game files" level fucked up.

Yeah, I'm not saying all Chinese gamers are cheaters, or that every PCBang machine comes preloaded with the latest hack client. But it was a legitimate problem that the dev team took too long to address. To the point they now do monthly updates on the cheating problem.

Shoot, here's a recent ban report from the dev team. https://pubg.com/en/news/8217

75,000 banned accounts for cheating in a week. And that number looks pretty consistent across multiple months.
