His point about PUBG having nothing to claim Intellectual Property over was so spot on I'm amazed nobody brought it up before. They actually can't do shit about people copying them.
Every time Bluehole or Brendan Greene open their mouth to complain about copy cats and stealing intellectual property while I die to yet another bug or lag or whatever, my regret for purchasing this game grows. Who knows, it actually might catch up to Fallout 4 one day.
Well battle royale is still a passing trend so PUBG can sue as much people as they want and no one would really care in the end
Honestly give Jim a pass most times, I usually don't like his style but this video was very well put together and convincing. Gj
Dont forget them doing almost nothing against blatent cheaters from china that have flooded the servers. Can't lock china into its own region, how else are they going to rake in money from banning accounts that will just rebuy the game on a new account.
I don't get that point on cheaters honestly, because they release numbers like having banned a million cheaters in January alone, so they're clearly doing something about it. Is there even a game where they catch most cheaters, because I haven't seen that game yet. Fighting these cheats is a cat and mouse game with new cheats constantly coming out with PUBG having to find them. Having played roughly 300 hours of PUBG only having run into maybe 5-10 blatant cheaters (while deathcam was a thing of course). I really don't see it being the sticking point that a lot of people are making it out to be. Of course this is just anecdotal evidence, but it's what I have.
It's not even that they can't lock China because "money", after all they now have a Chinese market publisher. But they can't lock China because it's just technically not all that feasible to guarantee Chinese players wont leak out still. The Chinese market are very good at circumventing Internet blocks, they've had to be to access anything outside of their Great Firewall for so long and the same will apply here. Using VPNs and all that good shit would circumvent the reasonable measures that would comprise a region lock.
Unless the VPN is garbage and leaks data about the user to the point you can call them Chinese that is.
It's like PUBG is actually trying to make people criticize it. Between the legal bullshit, Greene being a pretentious twat, and the unsatisfying update schedule in spite of the money it made, they made it nearly impossible to talk about the game as a game instead of a ripoff or a joke.

Christ don't be so harsh on Fallout 4.
I really don't want to hate PUBG since no other BR game plays like it, but I'm just so tired of the poor handling of the game since the full "release." Every time I go back there's more and more content being removed in a desperate effort to improve performance. Plus it's still clunky as fuck.
It hurts. I do enjoy Fortnite, but I can't stand the building mechanics and gunplay. If only there was a new PUBG that was handled properly.
I, like many others, also prefer PUBG to Fortnite, but can't stand Bluehole or the creator. Which is sad since PUBG could easily take back the number one spot if they gave an ounce of effort towards improving their own game rather than striking out at others.
Make PUBG $100 everywhere and dont put it on sale, that would at least help with the cheating also ping lock players out of servers which would work as a region lock. The game is terrible and lucked out on the formula, as soon as a AAA title comes out that is a realistic shooter based on that BR formula that its, game over for PUBG.
The original ArmA 3 mod still reigns superior
