Sorry mark me down as a hater.  I don't like to see millions going ape shit over a game that isn't even finished.  I see this as a problem for the industry.  Industry was already releasing half finished games with notion of patching fixes in later.  Now we have a large group of gamers supporting unfinished games.  Just like the DLC and microtransaction issue.  The entire industry is turning into shit.

Oh and one more thing.  PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUND is about the dumbest name ever.  It's like a four year old came up with the name.

This is just what I'm trying to tell ironmanDX. I know that this game is very popular, but there are going to be western studios that will publish beta games like PUBG, try to take as much money out of the consumer as possible with shady practices, and use the Beta label as a shield against criticism.

PUBG was in early access for well less than a year. If you’re going to worry about this becoming the norm, your argument would be better suited by referencing the many many shitty early access games that take years to come out, if they ever do. Of course, the foundation of your argument is flawed anyway.

1. PUBG is about as good a model as you can hope for from an early access title. There’s literally zero reason to be terrified here unless you’re just fundamentally against early access games in the first place. In which case no amount of logic or reason will sway you.

2. Publishers can’t just replicate PUBG. Why hasn’t anyone just pooped out a new Call of Duty? Where’s the Overwatch clone? Why didn’t Sony ever get that Halo shooter? Why can’t Microsoft just make Forza sell what GT does? Publishers already release early access games. Nothing has changed with PUBG.

3. You do know PUBG is developed in Korea somewhere, yes? What is this about western studios? Spoiler: publishers everywhere are out for your money.
