Whether you like video games or not, you must have heard the name of the game PUBG. I personally have not played it, not once in my life, but I was curious to search for the history of the game, its foundations, and how this game became famous with such terrible speed.
PUBG game developer
Some may think that the game PUBG was the first game developed by Green, but in fact, he made many games ARMA 2 mod DayZ: Battle Royale and the great game Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, but it did not succeed the success he had imagined.
And 2016 was the year that PUBG was launched
PUBG stands for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (Unknown Players on the Battlefield)
The gameplay is very simple. 100 players collectively enter a specific area in the map and upon launch, all players are equal, without weapons or ammunition, and sometimes without even clothes. When you reach the ground, the countdown begins to collect weapons, ammunition, and everything you can use in battle to stay alive. The thing that makes the game more difficult and prevents players from hiding and waiting. It is that the playing area shrinks continuously due to the so-called "zone", and all the players outside this area will lose, and who will remain inside the area until the end without dying will be the winner.
In September 2017, PUBG broke a record that no game had ever reached before it was having 1,342,857 players online at the same time, and with this record, it disqualified the Dota 2 game, which held the title.
It has also reached the point that it has become the best-selling and most active game on the Steam platform
In a very short period of time, the game achieved incredible success. He left a lot of competitors in shock, and it was the game that would make him rich and famous at the same time. In just a few months of his launch, Brendan made a fortune estimated at $ 200 million.
The number of people who have played Pubg has now reached more than 400 million players. The number of PUBG players every month is about 227 million players and 20 million online players are present in the game every day and this is the population of an entire country and the game was downloaded in the IOS system about 240 million downloads and 50 million copies of the game were sold on all available platforms, and for the largest percentage of players around the world, the first country was China, 33%, 11% from America, and the third country is India 8%.
Total game revenue has reached more than 2 billion dollars.
One of the strange things about Brendan and this information may shock PUBG players. It is despite his development of the game, but he does not like to play it and said that he does not prefer to sit down and play the game of Peggy. Just like Mark, I'm sure he's not sitting around all day browsing either Facebook or Instagram.
From the severity of people's addiction to the game, Green said the game developer that death threats have come to him from players from various around the world, and the reason is the updates made by the company on the game. This is normal in any program, application, or site in the world. But these players did not like it, so they sent messages threatening to kill him and to repeat the game as it was.
Also one of the shocking pieces of information about this game. For example, Apple spends 1.8 billion dollars of its total budget every year on one thing, which is advertising. Imagine this astronomical amount is allocated only to advertising. But the game PUBG, how much do you imagine it spent in exchange for reaching this world fame? How many fifty million dollars, for example, the truth is that it spent $ 0, the company did not spend a single dollar for advertisements. The first start that gave impetus to the wheel of success is a very simple thing and had a fabulous effect. It was a tweet on Twitter. Perhaps the value of this simple tweet is now worth millions. The game's developers, on their Twitter account, wrote only one change, in which they invited Counter-Strike players to try the game, which they said at the time was 55% similar to Counter-Strike Go.
The terrible spread of the game and its severe impact on the players, especially on children, called on some countries to ban the game permanently, as happened in India in March of this year when the Indian government decided to ban PUBG in the Indian state of Gujarat because of the addiction it causes and the amount of violence in it.
