Should earn enough money to fix the game I'd say.

So every since it was released on Xbox it's averaging a over a milkion new players every month. That's crazy good for what some consider "a dead game".

I personally prefer PUBG over Fortnite, so this is good news for me.

I wonder what Bluehole was thinking when they saw H1Z1 hit 10 million players on PS4 is just 1 month.

We made millions apon millions of dollars more than them and only "sold" 2 million less on a significantly smaller install base?

They're my first thoughts.
