PUBG takes a leaf out of Fortnite's playbook - and it works
When Bluehole first announced it was adding a new Event Mode to PUBG I curled my lip at the idea. If you've invested as much of your time into a game as I have with PUBG, it's easy to fear change.
At its core the addition of this Event Mode feels like nothing more than an attempt to regain some of the ground PUBG has lost to Fortnite. Epic's game has been running timed novelty events with great success for a while now, and its silly new modes resonate with the younger audience.
On the surface, imitating this formula to add some variety to PUBG seems like a good idea, especially if it helps win back players. To me, though, it just didn't sit right; the idea of wacky game types seemed at odds with PUBG's focus on realism.
