That’s one weird kid Of all the qualms people may have with the battle royale genre, insufficient bare-bones lore is low on the list. The premise is pretty self-explanatory: Kill or be killed; survive until the end because it is better to survive than to not survive. It’s really all the motivation that’s necessary to propel the gameplay. PUBG Corp, evidently, doesn’t agree. In preparation forPUBG‘s Season 4, this cinematic backstory trailer was produced....
