Umm... you aren't disagreeing with me at all, you're simply ignoring facts and likewise have decided to add no counter point:
-PUBG already had a custom game system implemented last year
-PUBG already had a 4x4 map announced last year and it was either going to be an island map or the desert map (desert map ended up being the 8x.
-H1Z1: KotK already had emotes/dances three years ago
-H1Z1: KotK already had customizable parachutes years ago
-Brendan Greene was already talking about the new Game Modes he has planned last year (before Fortnite Battle Royale existed): Link 1, Link 2, Link 3 (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds interview: New modes, modding plans, and his meteoric rise).
That's literally all of your entire argument laid out shown to be baseless.
For your argument that the "influence is strong" we literally have to suspend belief and go to another timeline where none of the things I posted exist and then we have to pretend that Fortnite Battle Royale isn't a blatant ripoff of Epic business partners IP and then we have to pretend that you actually had some kind of valid argument.
Nah, nvm.. I'm just salty, right?
Yeah, we'll continue to agree to disagree. The PUBG 2018 roadmap just feels like its playing catch up to Fortnite. To each their own though.
