You've been asleep for a least a month then. -- nm - Shaun Mar 21, 11:54 26
- better gameplay? Took PUBG's formula and made it better? -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:07 25
  - First and foremost, it's free (with no pay-to-win aspects). - Dignan Mar 21, 12:17 24
    - Oh, completely free to play. PUBG has no pay to win stuff but it's $30 on Steam. Gotcha. -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:18
    - Epic has pretty much done everything exactly right with this game. nm - Dignan Mar 21, 12:18 22
      - But what's the business model? -- nm - David Mar 21, 12:20 21
        
        Cosmetics. They sell skins and emotes/taunts/dances. - Dignan Mar 21, 12:22 15
        
        Oh wow. Does anyone know how much it costs to run an online game of this scale? - David Mar 21, 12:24 14
        
        I mean, they had 3.4 million concurrent players last month (possibly much more now). - Dignan Mar 21, 12:26 13
        
        That's precisely why I'm asking. It seems like it's always in the top 3 on Twitch. - David Mar 21, 12:31 5
        
        It's #1 by far and cannibalized PUBG majorly (which ruled most of 2017) -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:37
        
        It's number one on Twitch by a good margin now. - Dignan Mar 21, 12:33 [Attachment] 3
        
        The gap between #1 and #2 represents more hours than #4 gets. - David Mar 21, 12:39 2
        
        and #4 isn't even a game, it's the IRL channel, which the irony of still makes me laugh. -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:40 1
        
        I have to say that I very much enjoy watching illustrators demonstrate their craft in real time. -- nm - David Mar 21, 12:42
        
        you can play on the PC too correct? -- nm - Beaker Mar 21, 12:28 6
        
        Yes. With crossplay among PC/PS4/XBox. nm -- (edited) - Dignan Mar 21, 12:31 4
        
        Wait, PS4 finally gave in? -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:32 3
        
        Pretty sure it's been on PS4 since the beginning? nm - Dignan Mar 21, 12:35 2
        
        It appears that X-Box and PS4 still can't play together. -- (link) - Spawn Mar 21, 12:46
        
        "it can cross with PC but not PS4 that I understand. -- nm -- groiny (aka groiny) Mar 20 '18, 12:23 " - Spawn Mar 21, 12:43
        
        Everything except PS. -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:29
        
        cosmetic items via microtransactions -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:21 3
        
        So dignan can look like this. -- (pic) - Spawn Mar 21, 12:24 [Attachment] 2
        
        Those dudes are almost always straight up killers. - Dignan Mar 21, 12:30 [Attachment] 1
        
        Go Joe! - Spawn Mar 21, 12:30
        
        A smart one. -- nm - Underpants Gnomes Mar 21, 12:21
