I suppose, but we've always had plenty of people on PC's; even just amoung the FPS genre, the CS/RS/BF/Arma communities have long been huge, and there's been a long list of shooter mmo's through the years that included many of these features. Honestly makes me wonder if maybe it got going due to some famous streamers, much like how youtube and twitch helped Minecraft to explode. |

They used the Playerunknown name to gain the initial install base and attract some streamers.
It just snowballed from there.
