I'm still surprised that no bigger studio managed to release such a Battle Royale game by now. I mean, battle Roylae modes for Arma, H1Z1 and Day Z showed that there is a huge fanbase for this stuff and it can't be that expensive to develop (you don't need much compared to a game with story and stuff)

Could be developed by some smaller team and make easy money especially with releases on consoles since no other game released on consoles yet. Invest some million and sell easily millions of units even without advertisement, fans of this genre will buy it nonetheless as long as the game isn't a total disaster.

I'm betting that a bigger pub/studio out there will see that it's made 2m in a month and decide they now want a piece of that pie since it's paying out that much time. They could have appealed to the user abse that wants more Battle Royale style games, but I imagine theyw anted millions upon million in profit (like every other AAAA studio/pubs dream).
