And I'm not one to complain about, say, Escape from Tarkov (though it has its problems) or Hunt: Showdown. But a lot of big Battle Royale games that came after PUBG: Battlegrounds didn't really have anything new to bring to the table. Heck, Fortnite's build system came from the co-op game they were originally making, so I don't want to give them credit either.
The question is, do we really need to be creating another game in the same genre? If it's just to create more value for shareholders, I'd say there's better things game developers could be spending their time on. Like, having more free time, and working on passion projects.
