    Lol like thats the only possible axis or lens to view a game through.

    Battle Royale shooters got more popular then traditional team deathmatch games for their inherent pacing.

    Battle Royale games always involve these dynamic phases where sometimes you’re looting, sometimes you’re exploring, sometimes your battling, sometimes you’re sneaking up on people.

    That naturally creates the kind of varied encounters that games like Halo or Cod only got through randomizing game modes, and rather then only having downtime between matches to talk with your friends online, there is natural downtime built into segments of each scenario when you’re exploring and looting.

      By all means don’t let me yuck your yum. I get that it’s a popular genre, that people really like these games, and that’s legit.

      But it’s kinda like, well imagine you’re a huge basketball fan and you’re really into football too. But over the last 10 years most of ESPN’s programming has shifted over to auto racing, which bores you to tears. And hey, that’s fine if you like auto racing, but now it’s legitimately hard to find any basketball or football content.

      Anyway, my point is, it’s just a sucks to see the industry dominated by something you don’t really care for.
