Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is quickly becoming one of the most popular games in the world.  It has already surpassed long standing giants of the game industry in terms of concurrent players online at once, viewers of live streams, and has sold over 10 million copies of the game since it was first released in March of this year. The game has had over 1.5 million concurrent players online at once, breaking its own records again and again after surpassing the next giant, Dota 2 (over 1.2 million,) and the legend that is Counter Strike: Global Offensive (over 850 thousand.) PUBG (pub-jee as the players lovingly refer to it,) started out as a mod for the tactical mil-sim (military simulation) Arma III under the name Playerunknown’s Battle Royale, and then developer Bluehole Studio approached creator Brendan “Playerunknown” Greene to create the standalone bloodbath we see today. From the moment you choose to drop out of the cargo plane holding 99 other lunatics, it is an adventure of looting, sprinting to keep yourself in the ever shrinking playzone, intense firefights, and if you’re lucky, after a final heart-pounding shootout with your final opponent you’ll be the winner winner with the chicken dinner. This game has inspired me to work ever harder on  projects that I currently have going, as it shows that even something as small as a mod for another existing game can turn into something really special.
