    I have over a hundred hours in PUBG so I’m not claiming Fortnite invented the genre but you can’t deny that Fortnite isn’t the game that made it blow up.

    PUBG had no marketability. Gritty gameplay, toxic community, aimed at adults, and an awful name. It was also $30 and PC-only until after Fortnite blew up.

    Fortnite was bright and silly and on every platform and F R E E.

      Name a game that doesn’t have a toxic multiplayer community. It’s pretty pointless to characterize a game this way since it’s universally the same every where. It’s the internet.

          Pretty sure we’re talking about competitive pvp games here and not co-op games. I assumed that would go without saying.
