This unfortunate reality has demonstrated the downfall of the once blockbuster hit.
Once a household name and the forefront of the global survival shooter genre, PUBG has evolved into an iconic brand, irreplaceable within the gaming community at present. However, over time, this 'giant' has become increasingly frail, often displaying alarming metrics. From user care processes, perplexing updates... to the innovation of unique events, this game has turned into a massive disappointment.
PUBG was once a highly sought-after game upon its initial release.
However, after 6 years, the influence of PUBG has declined uncontrollably, leaving the gaming community heartbroken. (Source: Statista)It can be affirmed that even the 'father' Krafton of this game is no longer deeply attached to its 'cherished child'. Evidence suggests that in recent years, instead of exerting efforts to 'rescue' PUBG, this publisher has shifted focus to developing numerous new titles. Notable projects include: Defense Derby, Dark and Darker Mobile, The Bird That Drinks Tears...
For PUBG, Krafton still remains a partner but is no longer constructing as many impressive plans as before. Most notably, it's merely updating the map system with new battlegrounds, equipment, weapons... Recently, the publisher introduced the 8x8 battleground map named Rondo - a vast area with many distinctive Asian elements. However, the plight of player base remains unimproved, even more alarming than before.
The Rondo map still falls short in improving PUBG's alarming player base.Furthermore, statistics even point out that currently PUBG has up to 40% bot accounts. This is indeed a saddening figure, reflecting the severe user deficiency the game is facing. Although the prevalence of 'playing with bots' is frequent in PUBG, players perhaps didn't anticipate this legion to be so extensive.

However, reality has proven otherwise, and numbers don't lie. PUBG is undeniably grappling with an increasingly perilous situation; without timely intervention measures, this game may meet a sorrowful fate in the future.
