I still genuinely don't understand what the problem is. It's not like there's no difference between the games for the consumer. Back in the day every shooter was a "Doom-clone", it's how a genre was born. It's just the evolution of gameplay.

Except these days we've come far from "DOOM clones".

You're entirely missing my point.

Back then, FPS games were called "Doom clones" because Doom was the first real popular FPS game and other developers were taking a shot at the genre, taking elements from Doom because that was the standard. PUBG is now making the "battle royal" mode popular, so every game which adopts such a mode will be called a "PUBG clone". This needs to happen if this type of gameplay wants to survive. There is nothing wrong with other developers taking a shot at the genre and making their own version of it. It's called the evolution of a genre.
