Summary of video games in the last 5 years.



5 years? PUBG is probably the first massively successful battle royale game and it's not been 2 years yet.

H1Z1/Rust/etc are all a continuous survivalist game and other games were mostly mods.

I'm personally excited to see where Activision or EA take the genre (Blizzard too but I don't see that happening anytime soon).
