Idk I guess I still didn’t get the vibe it was anywhere as special as the hype train is treating it. It honestly feels weirdly artificial for a hype train too.

I doubt a no name company would be pulling all this attention out of marketing alone. If it was this easy everyone would do it.

In all fairness, this is not a great game. It's a very derivative game whose only appeal is that it combines things in a way that hasn't been done much. Like many other hype trains of questionable quality, it just happened to scratch the right itch for the right people at the right time.

Kind of how Fortnite was a rehash of stolen ideas (originally) of PUBG

The reason people originally hated Fortnite was because not only did they blatantly plagiarise PUBG, Sony also intentionally screwed over PUBG to make Fortnite more popular

I haven't heard of the Sony-PUBG shenannigans, would you care to tell me more about it?

It's been quite a long time but iirc there was originally a deal going on between them that got last second tossed out for Fortnite instead. Sadly I don't fully remember
