Fortnite BR: 20 mill unique players in 1.5 months
PUBG: 20 mill unique players after 7.5 months
Of course 20 mill $30 paid downloads are more impressive than 20 mill free downloads. No doubt.
But some of the comments in this thread is Rocket League all over again regarding the "This game is only popular because it's free."
Fortnite BR has seen huge growth especially in the West whereas China and Korea alone make up 50% of PUBG players.
A lot of streamers are playing Fortnite BR even though they own PUBG. I enjoy the game quite a lot myself.

Very well said my friend. This illustrates perfectly how Fortnite is managing to reach a far greater number of people and faster. It may be free but it's going to be played by a hell of a lot more people in the end.

Especially when you consider that:
1)Epic had to steal Blue's thunder to gain traction to their already borrowed concept from minecraft and the general horde mode from other games.
2) They are combining their numbers across multiple systems, while PuB is being sold on one system alone.
I find it far more impressive that a paid game, that gaiend traction via word of mouth and streams, managed to roughly gain the same amount of downloads. FN had all kinds of marketing going for it and streaming as well, while PuB had simple word of mouth and some streaming in the mix to get their sales.

So now we are supportive of a game being available on only one platform?

Oh no you didn't!
