There's usually one every year.

So wildly incorrect that I’m convinced you’re trolling.

You can think that if it helps you sleep if you like.

I guess BRs must all have some sort of airdrop beginning, a deadly moving circle and permadeath. In which case I guess Apex, Warzone and PUBG itself ceased to be BRs since they introduced respawning. From now on, everything will be labelled "Arena Shooter".

Take the blinkers off, have a sip of water, calm yourself down a bit.

I love The Finals. You don't need to jump into a thread to defend it from me like it's your first lover. Getting worked up about me labelling it a Hero Shooter and then stating it has zero elements of a Battle Royale is absolutely deranged. Battlefield is literally one of the origins of the hero shooter genre. Classes and gadgets are very customizable but have hero shooter mechanics in that the 3 different body types have distinct abilities and utilities.

It may not be a "circle closes on one lifed competitiors" pure PUBG BR. But it is a dystopian game show where people (albeit avatars) are pitted against each other in a fight to the death (albeit with a monetary points scoring element). Like, you know, Battle Royale.

Oh holy shit stop the fucking presses. An online multiplayer fps is not a single player game? No way.

Oh so you agree they tend to make only multiplayer live service games? Which was my entire point. I guess there was no reason to argue about genre based semantics at all!

The new "Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is even more depressing.

Battle Royale bro? Not in the strictest sense of "is it PUBG", but it has a lot of the genre's elements in there. It's basically a hyper speed Hunger Games with heroes. I'd say it's a fusion of BR and Hero Shooter for sure.

The point is, it is about as far from a single player experience as you are going to get.

You might be waiting a while for that. Venture capital funded and so far have made a Battle Royale and an Extraction Shooter. Will probably be a Survival game next if a new trend doesn't come along first.

Change? They must have also voted for Obama then I'm sure.

"Israeli"? The quotations make it seem like they aren't totally sure.

Calm down Zeus. You're getting another unhealthy attraction to a mortal woman.

they are feeling betrayed after federal agents recently detained the woman in California while she interviewed for permanent US residency

I guess she didn't get it.

But an AI surely can't reduce productivity as effectively as, for example, scheduling hundreds of 1:1 meetings in a week, or eliminating remote work to get all senior staff off the payroll.
