When PUBG was released last year it became an one hit wonder with over a million copies sold and as of now it has grown to more than 29 million copies this is on the computer alone not xbox one or ps4 included. This success of this video game made the PUBG millions of dollars also according to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds they lost a lot of money if others have not copied their work.

This includes the vehicles - weapons - landscapes - buildings even the pre play game area that you hang out in, They copied the shrinking gameplay areas.
I am a huge fan of Fortnite Battle Royale. Just the other day the folks at Epic games released a new update that included the new Pop Up Fort grenade. I love the sound of the Pop Up Fort and wish I could report on how effective I have been with it, but the Fortnite servers are down and they have been down for quite a while now.
I get that this kind of thing happens with an online game, it sucks, especially if it is the main game you are playing. While I love Fortnite, my love pales in comparison to my sons and his school friends and they are really not happy that they have not been able to play Fortnite together today.
The problem is that far too many games will release an update that introduces new content to the game or “fixes” issues, but then they need to do another update a few days later in order to fix the problems that the first update caused!
Epic Games have not yet given any kind of indication as to when the servers will be back up and running. Hopefully, it is going to be later today, but I am not holding my breath. To say Fortnite Battle Royale has taken over the gaming world is an understatement and the game being down right now is every bit as bad for the people at Epic as it is us fans. There are some really annoyed, angry and just downright crazy posts on Twitter right now!
