"PUBG", which brought the chicken eating game to the peak, in just 4 years, the online volume of Steam players plummeted from 325W to 35W, and nearly 10 times the player loss "PUBG" What did PUBG do?
The dark horse that PUBG suddenly killed
The first impression of game royale on games like Battle Royale is not PUBG, but H1Z1 before it. At that time, the "Red Army" was like a locust crossing, as long as you are not a Chinese, you can kill, pretend to be a countryman but you will not sing the national anthem to kill, making foreigners miserable, and all kinds of national insults in the game can be put to the end from the beginning to the end.
Exaggerated red-clad army
H1Z1's poor game environment has created a polarized player situation, and a large number of players who do not like the atmosphere of H1Z1 are constantly struggling to find a game that can be replaced. Sure enough, success is inseparable from the favorable time and place, and the unknown "Blue Hole" has pushed their game "PUBG" onto the stage at this time. A simpler threshold for getting started than "H1Z1", a more realistic game engine, a better game environment, coupled with the word of mouth of the anchor and fans " Big luck, eat chicken tonight", "PUBG" to the peak of eating chicken.
From then on to the peak
With the continuous volatilization of the anchor effect, PUBG has become the "battle royale" game with the most online players on the Steam platform, and the number of players online at its peak has reached 325W of exaggerated data, which directly led the global "chicken eating" game boom.
Exaggerated number of online players
Embattled, pubicular
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and you will not be able to stand still. The popularity of "PUBG" has allowed a large number of game manufacturers to see business opportunities and begin to make "chicken eating" games. Tencent Northern Lights Studio launched "Infinite Law", EA's Rebirth Studio launched "Apex Heroes", Epic also launched its self-developed "Fortnite", etc., and major manufacturers want to share the cake of "battle royale" games.
Big cake for the hungry
In addition to their own unique selling points, these games have a common point of "free", compared to the 98 tickets of PUBG, the word free is obviously more attractive. "PUBG" finally ushered in an embattled dilemma, and Blue Hole also worked hard to continuously introduce new skins, new maps and weapons, etc., but did not dare to come up with new ways to play, after all, this is a hard-won reputation.

Plug-ins are rampant, and players are lost
In the domestic game circle, all games with the word "free" will be patronized by plug-ins. "PUBG" is too hot, and it is impossible for every player in the game to be a game master, which also extends the gap in the demand for "plug-ins". Ordinary players can become masters through plug-ins, and the experience of eating chicken that has never been tasted before can also be tasted, and even become a red person in the circle.
Plug-in flood of eating chicken
With the desire to kill all sides in the game that is not a master, more and more plug-in authors have begun to march into "PUBG", coupled with the lack of anti-plug-in technology and experience in the blue hole, it has bred the barbaric growth of plug-ins. Gradually, the game happily eating chicken turned into a variety of fairy fights, and even some plug-in players would not be ashamed of this, and openly advertised in the game "Does the boss want to hang?" Old stable! ”。
Blatantly sold
While trapped in their own technical limitations, while thinking of new maps and new skins, the blue hole that is not enough eventually leads to a large number of players retreating from the pit, and has also been questioned by a large number of players, why can not concentrate on plug-ins.
Fish and bear paws cannot be combined
Free to play, but players are no longer buying it
Today's "PUBG" lost nearly 90% of the players, in order to return to the player Blue Cave and even released the bold "game free", but unfortunately the blue hole did not figure out that the player left is not because of the game fee, such a free and there is no way to be completely free (ranking also has to be paid to unlock), which will only exacerbate the cool speed of PUBG.
It's free and not completely free
There are even netizens who ridicule the blue hole, is the game back to entertainment? In the past, you could still hide in the grass and steal people's heads, and now the grass is getting thinner and thinner, isn't this forcing the player to come out and face it? This is survival, obviously it is killing!
Give me back the secret life
Is the plugin that players are most concerned about solved? When you pay, you can't get the plug-in, and now the free plug-in is not more rampant! Look at the "Super Human" that just came out, which is also free, and now it has directly become a game for various immortals to fight mortals to dissuade.

epilogue
The decline of "PUBG" is not only because of the proliferation of plug-ins, but more importantly, the pioneering gameplay is too old-fashioned, the same plug-in flood of "CSGO" is still the most online game for Steam platform players, the same situation Why "Decide to Survive" has ended up so badly, the blue hole is time to introspect.
The Blue Hole needs to be reflected
