Unfortunately, what is very popular does not guarantee that this is a good game. All the activities that major game publishers have been doing for many years is to reduce the quality of games and accustomed players to a low taste threshold. And the Battle Royal genre is a clear example of this - it is a very boring genre that requires minimal competence from the developer. But for some incredible reason this genre is over hype. And the developers want to take this hype train and create a ton of low-quality boring Battle Royal.
10000% agree with you.
It's the online game's equivalent of Reality TV.
Cheaper to make, because you don't need to pay actors, or writers, have a plot, or a script.
You just put random people together and tell them to kill each other, and you have a game!
To be honest, everyone was surprised that it proved popular.
EDIT: Not my type of game. I like games like Witcher 3 and SD2
