Got me there haha

I mean I think they released it because the main complaint was that the game was super lackluster and they saw PUBG´s hot streak they just said ´Well what they do we can do better` I think if the game was a total flop they wouldnt have put so much effort into making a whole new mode for it from scratch. 

If it wasn't a total flop you'd have thought the new mode would have been part of the core game, to encourage more sales and reward their existing customers, rather than a standalone free to play game. Seems to me like it was a case of "we've got this game which hasn't done as well we had hoped, is there any way we can use the assets for it on something else?" and so they created a BR game out of it.

I think they just wanted to gather a bigger audience and it was already released on Playstation so they thought they could take in the place for `the PUBG on PS´ but, again, I heard positive things for the first few weeks from the Dev team so I dont think it really flopped.
