I’m going to say what everyone is thinking but too afraid to admit: Battle Royale games are the epitome of lazy game design.

They rely on the same tired formula and add nothing new to the gaming landscape. These games are just cash grabs, feeding off the hype, and they’ll be forgotten in a few years.

We need real innovation in gaming, not just a hundred-player deathmatch with a shrinking map. Change my mind.

    Dropping 100 players into a map and making them fight isn’t innovative. It’s the lowest common denominator of game design.

      You sound like someone who can’t handle the competition. It’s a lot harder to win against real players than scripted NPCs.

        Maybe I just prefer games that respect my time and intelligence. Battle Royales are designed to keep you playing and spending money, not to challenge or entertain you meaningfully.

          Or maybe you just can’t keep up with the evolving gaming landscape. Battle Royales are here to stay, whether you like it or not.

            We’ll see about that. I’m betting on them fading into obscurity like every other overhyped trend. Real gamers know what’s up.
