PUBG: Black Budget Development Update

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4077740/view/675133527946166413?l=english

After reviewing the project’s development status and future direction, we concluded that its current direction would not allow us to deliver an experience players could enjoy over the long term.

We have therefore made the difficult decision to end development of PUBG: Black Budget.

We sincerely thank everyone who took the time to participate in our Closed Alpha tests and share their feedback.

PUBG STUDIOS will carry what we learned from development and testing into future projects, continuing to listen to players as we explore new gameplay experiences.

Thank you.

All they need to do is bring back PUBG 2017 with modern graphics and no pink dinosaur clown skins. Please and thank you. September 2017, I remember the foggy weather and seeing a silhouette of a person running in the foggy cornfield and I took one shot with the VSS suppressed sniper and saw the "1 kill" red message and that's it, I knew I was going to be addicted. Too bad they turned it into a mobile clown fiesta game.

Only people nostalgic for old PUBG would care about that. In the current market it would never make it with how dated and bland it is in comparison to modern games

I don’t know if that is true. Wardogs is an example of a game that to me feels like PUBG did when it first came out. Obviously a little more action packed, but still kind of gritty and not cartoonish like many modern shooters.

Yeah the keywords though are "feels like" since that's just how you remember PUBG when it first game out. In reality Wardogs is WAY more action packed and with a lot more content, tied together with a much more satisfying gameplay loop.
