However, when it came to existing properties and the monolith that is Steam, Valve had a bit of a more difficult year. Curation on Steam had become an elephant in the room, and Valve’s decision to wash its hands of any regulation didn’t go over well, particularly when this was followed up by the news that the company would then indefinitely delay all adult-themed video games on the platf
The best way to learn these lessons is to head to the training mode of PUBG . This mode will allow new players a space to become familiar with the workings of the Krafton game IP. Here it is recommended that players practice with each weapon and gain a feel for how they operate and their strengths and weaknes
So, read on to see the worst moments of video game publishers in 2018, from negative reactions to game announcements through to backlash over business decisions. Hopefully, these are things that the culprits will learn from in fut
Fans of the Diablo series have been waiting a long time for a new game, but Diablo Immortal was not what they were hoping for. A mobile-only spinoff of the action RPG franchise, gamers were aghast when the title was revealed earlier this year, dreading the potential for dodgy microtransactions and fearing a move away from the PC focus that Diablo had always maintai
With over 50 million downloads on the Google Play Store, Call of Duty: Mobile is less popular than PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, but maintains a sizeable player base. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has over 100 million downloads on the Google Play St
So, this campaign started before Megan and I got involved. Global Green and Omaze and PUBG Mobile basically figured out a way to combine what they do best. PUBG Mobile has access to all these people because they are as big as they are. They were in a world that so many people are involved in, with mobile gaming and all that. Omaze is this unbelievable company that’s really good at coming up with fun ways of raising money and doing that. When they teamed up with Global Green, it just made sense for what they do. Then the aspect of bringing myself and my wife in to help promote it, and to help really get eyes on it, it became everybody going, “Okay, how do we use our platforms in the best way to raise awareness?” Then this party that we’re doing December 9, with Twitch TV, that’s another aspect of it. So the whole thing is one giant push. And PUBG Mobile has been amazing, and Omaze has been amazing, and Global Green is an amazing organization, so we really want to help them as much as we can with resources to combat what’s going on in the Amazon and the fight for that, and just start there and hopefully g
Global Green is an organization dedicated to creating a sustainable future for the environment, and they’ve teamed up with fundraising titan Omaze and the popular video game, PUBG Mobile , to raise worldwide awareness towards the plight of the Amazon , with the goal of protecting the land from greedy corporations that seek to shorten the planet’s lifespan in the name of short-term prof
Valve didn’t have an easier time with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive either. CS:GO fight saw bad press after controversy over item-trading and racism from commentators , before Valve managed to annoy the game’s community by making CS:GO free-to-play at the end of the year. Given that Steam is going to face some major competition going forwards, it’s clear that major change is necessary after a tumultuous y
Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC’s player count of 500,000 users out of the wa
Formerly named ‘H1z1,’ Z1 Battle Royale was in the early access stage for a significant amount of time, but now that it is complete, the game has turned into a free-to-play game. Z1 Battle Royale combines battle royale elements with zombie survival. Players will have to scavenge for items to survive the game’s natural elements and opposing players. The objective is to be the last player or team standing in solo, duos, or fives. With plenty of unlocks, the game has a tremendous amount of replay va
All this did was leave the gaming community telling Monolith, ” I told you so .” It’s a criticism that had been laid at the game at launch and every day since, and so having it sold back to players without an apology didn’t do much to salvage Shadow of War .

The most popular game of its kind deserves placement on this list and praise for what it’s accomplished for the battle royale genre.
