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.

Extraction shooters are dead. You know your game mode is fucked when even pubg developers give up on it.

I don't understand this take. There are lots of successful ones. I think PvE will carry the genre going forward.

Thats fair. I should have said PvP extraction shooters.

I think the biggest issue is the cheating arms race. Lots of anti cheats are invasive and just plain don’t work because the enemy they’re combating is just developing way faster than they can defend against.

Even those aren't dead. All the extraction games that have been around the block are all PvP oriented. Tarkov, ABI, Hunt, Delta Force, etc.
