They're publishing it. They're basically throwing assets at them in order to get the game to run halfway decent on the bone.

>>387803517
I don't even like the game that much but trust me if it's ever gonna hit peak popularity it's going to be at the very least a few months after it's full release.

Little changes just make the game completely different. I had grown tired of playing the thing with friends but once they added the FPP servers I was hooked once again for several straight days. Also playing this shit with people you actually know just makes it not be shit.

That's not how it works. When you release a console game on PC, it's called a "PC port". Since PUBG is now on Xbox, that retroactively makes the PC version a port.

Otherwise, we'd call every multiplat game on every platform a port.

>>387803042

Nobody is projecting. The modern games industry cannot, and would not, exist in its current form if they didn't have console games to make actual profits from. The only way PC can compete in profits, is through gambling skinner boxes, microtransactions, or a very healthy modding scene keeping the game in the public eye (like your average bethesda game)

Too much.

doesn't it still cost money to patch on xbone? won't that fuck up pubg really badly because it's still in early access

>>387812434
That's only true for fully released games, PUBG is part of the Xbox Game Preview program and Microsoft has a marketing deal with Bluehole so its unlikely they'll charge extra for patching.

>>387812434
it will never not be funny to me that devs have to pay microsoft to be allowed to update their games

>>387818731
so you're saying that a bad/buggy update has NEVER been put out for a console because they have a QA team on it?
