I’m going to say what everyone is thinking but too afraid to admit: Battle Royale games are the epitome of lazy game design.

They rely on the same tired formula and add nothing new to the gaming landscape. These games are just cash grabs, feeding off the hype, and they’ll be forgotten in a few years.

We need real innovation in gaming, not just a hundred-player deathmatch with a shrinking map. Change my mind.

      Haha, nice find on the LMS history lesson!

      I didn’t know that, cheers for enlightening me. But let’s not digress too much, I wasn’t saying the concept itself is new, rather how it’s been executed and popularized recently.

      And yeah, maybe I don’t speak for everyone, but I know we both agree that some of these newer titles are milking the formula dry.

      Don’t even get me started on the cash-grab season passes and microtransactions shudders. As for developing something new, ha! If only I had the skills and resources – or heck, even a decent team to work with.

      For now, I’ll stick to ranting and offering my expert analysis to anyone willing to listen . Besides, someone’s gotta keep the gaming community on its toes…
