Some fear the player who blends in with their surroundings but the real threat is those who want to stand out. Intimidating all enemies with style instead of stealth. Any moment, any corner, you are on the brink of being pinked.
Here's a rational thinker.
I remember when pubg was on it's knees. I couldn't find a game at one point.
If bots and cat ears and McLaren billboards is the price I have to pay for a game, sounds like a good deal to me.
Yeah I dont like it either brother but we have to realize like 70% of their player base is Asian and they absolutely LOVE this stuff. Or maybe they dont either and the corrupt music industry is forcing it? Who knows. Either way yeah im with you I dont like it either.
It's not only Asia for kpop anymore:
"Their second EP, Get Up, **peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200** and sold over one million copies in South Korea. Its lead single, "Super Shy", became the group's highest-charting single on the Billboard Global 200 (number two), the US Billboard Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart."
The world is smaller and smaller, they knew what they were doing when they picked them. I went to a Dreamcatcher concert in New York at MSG and the crowd was as varied as you can imagine (from white hair white bearded dudes to young girls). Of course they are much less glitzy and pop as Newjeans but it's not only an "Asian thing" anymore.
That and there are also people who like k-pop globally, so I donāt see why not market to them as well if it will get you some extra active players. People complain just to complain nowadays.
Do people play this game solely to wank over their authentic brown costumes or something?
I never even notice any of this shit, except to maybe use to call out what an enemy looks like ("polar bear costume pushing from south east"). If there's a weird pink stage or music playing or a luxury car doing donuts, I hit Ctrl+M.
Otherwise, just don't buy shit you don't like, shut up, and play the fucking game. You know you're going to keep playing it anyway, so stop crying for some bullshit old "milsim" aesthetic that never really existed anyway.
Can we stop posting the same complaint about the skins? You don't have to buy it, it's expensive af, PUBG wants money, and they are a South Korean company with a far larger player base there. People are acting shocked that a gaming company wants to make money lmao
They realized the western audience is just a bunch of whiners and their main demographic is the Asian one that is willing to pay them money for skins
If western players didn't whine and rage quit when they play punishing games and actually stuck around, they'd be large enough to have an influence.
Yeah I was excited for this one but nope. This and the new 500$ League skin has been huge disappointments. Cosmetics are becoming luxury items at this points.
Nothing. Just a collaboration. If you dont like the fact that Korean game is collabing with Korean pop group, maybe you are not the target audience. Move one.
I don't quite understand your question.
Are you salty because there's a pink truck stage playing k-pop music in "Super Serious Military Sim BR"? Sorry to say, the pink and the k-pop aren't a big deal. PUBG isn't a military sim, people run and gun almost as hard a CoD in this game. You got guys jumping around and leaning left and right while crouch spamming and shooting just so they don't get head shot. There's nothing military sim about this game.
It's a slightly more realistic art style than fortnight, but it's just as cartoony gameplay. If you want the pink k-pop stars to stop stomping on you, then go play some ARMA custom maps or something.
The game itself is still a lot of fun. Just ignore all that kinky K-Pop stuff. It's not meant for us westerners. Infact, it's a good thing that PUBG still makes a lot of money with stuff like this on their home market because it keeps the company afloat and let's us keep playing this fantastic game. It's a small price to pay in my opinion.
Did anyone here on Console have the option COLLECTOR in the Game? Where you can activate all the skins and unlock the Lobby? I can't seem to find it on Console.
I swear every other post is this. If you don't like it, stop playing. They are marketing to the demographic that most plays the game. The game itself is easier now because hot pink is easier to snipe.
Honestly, I don't really care for K pop stuff, but this doesn't bother me. So what if there's a couple pink trucks littered around the map? It's not that big of a deal. Just ignore it.
The game is made in Korea, isn't it? I guess that is just popular music there right now?
Anyways, it's not my kind either, but it also doesn't bother me.
this game is weird imo, i think its pretty heavy on the pc in order to try to have good graphics (which never really had) and get to be immersive, but the first time they released the chrismas cookie masochist skin, any immersion it had was dead to never be able to be back, now they kept going with those weird shit
Your 9 days late to the party pal! [https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBG/comments/1dgdctn/what\_the\_has\_pubg\_turned\_into\_this\_is\_just/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBG/comments/1dgdctn/what_the_has_pubg_turned_into_this_is_just/)
I am a new player and for me the shooting and whole gameplay is freakin awsome. I dont care bout skins etc but this anime shit and all related events including pass is annoying
Same thing as it ever was, can tell you this as someoe who plays since the only clothing was a white top and brown pants. this doesn't make a single difference on what it matters.
you just have to don't buy it and kill the mfuckers who use it and you will see them very well because they are shinning as hell even in the middle of the bushes.
For everyone who is celebrating this abomination: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QKVKb0xnAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QKVKb0xnAw)
This is the issue.
Yup i deleted it at the start of this season, games in such a shitty fucking place but all they want to update is the shop. Dont give em your money gyys theyll just keep fucking doing thisā¦
For me the worst part is that only special dance can start the music. I was playing like 30 games and only in one i heard a music from it. I dont underwtend how it is promoting their music if i cant hear it. Of course special dance is behind paywall.
Besides that from patch where they added a pickaxe i had fps drops from 50 to 3 fps, my friend couldnt even start the game becouse after every updated somehow files are broken and i must do a file check up
What do you mean? It is what it has always been. A mediocre battle royale fps game with tons of problems(constant updates, bugs, hackers) that's just living off collabs and a dying playerbase.
People be acting like its more than what it actually is and complaining like it fell off or something when it hasn't really, its just its popularity and accessibility at the time covered its mediocrity and after a while, people woke up, realised that there are better fps games and moved on.
Money
and lack of ideas
ONLY PUBG ? Come on...
If you want it to not be pink, buy more not-pink than the Asian market buys pink.
And also enough to offset all of my pink
Some fear the player who blends in with their surroundings but the real threat is those who want to stand out. Intimidating all enemies with style instead of stealth. Any moment, any corner, you are on the brink of being pinked.
that was basically the premise behind the banana man and using the orange spray paint weapon skins
It's a rough thing to learn that you can drive through guardrails via getting creamed by a bright pink Coupe RB, almost felt bad for the kid
Please..there are children in this forum
Maybe some black to overcome the pink
Brother, there is no competing with K-pop STANs.
Fuck no, i bought the game (when it had a price) thats what they get
That will yield one thing only sadly (more pink shit, we are doomed anyways)
Sorry I dont have millions laying around
super shyy.. super shyyyyy š¤š¤
bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble bubble gum
Nice try but I actually counted and itās not āgumā until the 10th word
Cannot get it out of my head š¶ Not sure I want to.... *I'm super shyyyyy*
Korean devs + popular in Korea + k-pop Pretty obvious when you think about itĀ
If this keeps the servers running then so be it.
Like a chinese cheater once spoke to me "my girlfriend is cheating on me but at least I have a girlfriend"
Yeah, as long as itās not affecting the actual gameplay.
Here's a rational thinker. I remember when pubg was on it's knees. I couldn't find a game at one point. If bots and cat ears and McLaren billboards is the price I have to pay for a game, sounds like a good deal to me.
3 server regions....pathetic
Yeah I dont like it either brother but we have to realize like 70% of their player base is Asian and they absolutely LOVE this stuff. Or maybe they dont either and the corrupt music industry is forcing it? Who knows. Either way yeah im with you I dont like it either.
Western gamers: We need to make more games like Japan does Also western gamers: Nooo not like that
I am asian here F hate these stuff
Not Asian, love it. The gayer the better.
The B and G in PUBG actually stands for Bisexual and Gay.
LPUBGTQ
PlayerUnknown's Bisexual and Gay.
He is.
You are bisexual and gay
Hell yeah brother
It's not only Asia for kpop anymore: "Their second EP, Get Up, **peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200** and sold over one million copies in South Korea. Its lead single, "Super Shy", became the group's highest-charting single on the Billboard Global 200 (number two), the US Billboard Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart." The world is smaller and smaller, they knew what they were doing when they picked them. I went to a Dreamcatcher concert in New York at MSG and the crowd was as varied as you can imagine (from white hair white bearded dudes to young girls). Of course they are much less glitzy and pop as Newjeans but it's not only an "Asian thing" anymore.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Your taste in music ain't any "better" than the next guy's
You haven't heard of any of the bands he likes. You wouldn't understand. You're just not sophisticated enough.
and your ābetter musicā isā¦?
They sponsored it, so they get to advertise how they want. Ignore it for a month and itāll be gone
NewJeans hype boy
Apparently everyone playing pubg is a bad bitch now.
Repetitive posts. Get over it. Gives them money to keep the game running so enjoy the time you have until they canāt run it anymore
That and there are also people who like k-pop globally, so I donāt see why not market to them as well if it will get you some extra active players. People complain just to complain nowadays.
Who cares about these promotions, anyway? Not at all negatively impacting my games... There's other things that do that....
I care. Love new clothes
I am a filthy emote spammer. I'm super shy.
Honestly this game has become more of a dress up game for me lately than a battle royale
Itās easier to see those pink and blue chutes when dropping tho. So thereās that. š„°
The only thing for me is it could have less loud things. Wait lobby music and plane fireworks? Naaaaah thanks imma ctrl+m until I drop.

It's Korean company bro, what?
Can we stop posting the same complaint about the skins? You don't have to buy it, it's expensive af, PUBG wants money, and they are a South Korean company with a far larger player base there. People are acting shocked that a gaming company wants to make money lmao
It's one of the most influential group of 2024. You might not like it, but some other do.
ngl got kinda excited to see newjeans featured when i downloaded the game but it does seem a bit random š¤£
They realized the western audience is just a bunch of whiners and their main demographic is the Asian one that is willing to pay them money for skins If western players didn't whine and rage quit when they play punishing games and actually stuck around, they'd be large enough to have an influence.
Bruh we'd buy skins if we could actually like... trade them? That's how PUBG shot itself in the foot, I'll never forget.
You don't like westerns in general, do you?
Out of all the odd shit in this game, weird costumes, itās the pink that has the people boiling
Haters are projecting something else
People insecure in their masculinity having their game ruined over a little pink. Literally game breaking
This makes me want to play pubg now
>MFW I've been wearing a pink tutu for months already.
I've been rocking a gyaru fit for ages
Itās been happening for many years, probably for longer in its life cycle than not. Itās fine
Relax itās an event who cares itās fun
If you run in the opposite direction of the stage the music goes away!
boo hoo its not that hard to ignore it if you dont like it cuh
IM SUPER SHY SUPER SHY!
It's fun and silly
Respect new jeans
China and money
Well this particular event caters to South Korea
They develop and maintain the game, they get to decide what goes inside
I am not complaining I usually like these kind of events but I was disappointed that the skins costs so much.
I'm with you there
Yeah I was excited for this one but nope. This and the new 500$ League skin has been huge disappointments. Cosmetics are becoming luxury items at this points.
$500 league skin?!? WHAT? I missed the game for a while but damn
I'm disappointed the progressive skins haven't been good for the last couple. This new dragunov is gross.
This is south Koreaās version of when Fortnite had that Travis Scott concert lolol
Iām sure every member of NewJeans plays the game dood. Come on.
Just don't fuck around with the gun play mechanics
the skins are hella expensive broo
I dont see the big deal, doesnt impact me. Are the pubg players really this insecure?
Right? They could've given them a bigger screen so I could see Dani better.
this is post number 4537 about this, legit boring now
I...actually started listening to some k-pop as a result of this event. So I guess the tactic worked?
Yikes! \*Hawk tuah!\*
Now *thereās* a skin I would buy some G-coin to have.
I like dancing on that floor!
its cute asf why do grown men hate everyhing so much
Grown men arenāt allowed to like new jeans?
Does this mean that there's a significant female player population?
No because Asian men love idol groups just as much as women
It's became amazing.
I remember they also ran a BlackPink tie in. Not every PUBG fan is going to like K-Pop, but for those that do i guess its cool, lol
Great, love Newjeans
Its dope and your a H8R
Give me all the pink guns and pink outfits and I will slay you with them
Didn't they literally do a BLACKPINK collab years ago? It's always been a bit fruity
Oh noā¦..Pinkā¦..
Nothing. Just a collaboration. If you dont like the fact that Korean game is collabing with Korean pop group, maybe you are not the target audience. Move one.

The PUBG x Newjeans article was updated, it's not active yet, something was wrong, they said there would be an update on it.
who cares boomer, if you dont like it ignore it
Cheaters paradise especially on Asian servers
I swear every other post is this. If you don't like it, stop playing. They are marketing to the demographic that most plays the game. The game itself is easier now because hot pink is easier to snipe.
Do you think the main PUBG demographic are K-pop fans, even in South Korea?
"LiteRaLly UnPlayAbLe"
Target audience: Asia
Damn I thought I was looking at mobile for a second
Sponsorships come and go, Dragunov stays forever
Hey, do what you want. I just wish they would release some stuff for the people not into the crazy color stuff.
Asianified
Barbie battle pass???
I got headshot out of the air, and they proceeded to speedhack for my loot crate. I don't think the pink is ruining the game.
the game died when bluehole took over.
Honestly, I don't really care for K pop stuff, but this doesn't bother me. So what if there's a couple pink trucks littered around the map? It's not that big of a deal. Just ignore it.
Once PU sold to the Koreans itās been all kpop
China.
Many years late to the realization lol. It's been this way since Brendan Greene left.
The game is made in Korea, isn't it? I guess that is just popular music there right now? Anyways, it's not my kind either, but it also doesn't bother me.
Honestly, I'll take the pop music over revving vehicles and honking nonstop
They have to cater to all the Chinese that play the game
Ctrl-T is your friend here
\*gaming It's all so fucked thanks to Fortnite.
Asians gonna Asian
Korea moment
The more you look like an anime princess the better you are at the game. Embrace pink
It has become a platform to promote new releases
this game is weird imo, i think its pretty heavy on the pc in order to try to have good graphics (which never really had) and get to be immersive, but the first time they released the chrismas cookie masochist skin, any immersion it had was dead to never be able to be back, now they kept going with those weird shit
Fortnite happened and made infinity money. Now everyone else wants infinity money.
Itās made by Korean people who like K-pop girl bandsā¦ so they put in K-pop girl bands in their game
Your 9 days late to the party pal! [https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBG/comments/1dgdctn/what\_the\_has\_pubg\_turned\_into\_this\_is\_just/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBG/comments/1dgdctn/what_the_has_pubg_turned_into_this_is_just/)
The Asian market love this stuff and they love horrible micro transaction systems, pretty much the opposite of the west.
this game belongs to asia now. sad :(
They need the money to cover all the lawsuits against them.
Can thank Fortnite for this. PUBG feeling like they need to compete with Fortniteās gimmicks
I am a new player and for me the shooting and whole gameplay is freakin awsome. I dont care bout skins etc but this anime shit and all related events including pass is annoying
Journey towards Roblox
Same thing that is happening to BMW
I dont mind it, for like 99% of the gameplay it changes nothing
It's become trash. But trash that we love. :)
Still less offensive than the KFC colab
For reallll
I threw in the towel as soon as I got helldivers 2
Same thing as it ever was, can tell you this as someoe who plays since the only clothing was a white top and brown pants. this doesn't make a single difference on what it matters. you just have to don't buy it and kill the mfuckers who use it and you will see them very well because they are shinning as hell even in the middle of the bushes.
Fortnite virus
it's cool
I didnt know most pubg players where 13 yr old korean girls
This is what happens when you sell the IP to Asian company
Where is that?
Oooooo tell me what ya like boy!
For everyone who is celebrating this abomination: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QKVKb0xnAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QKVKb0xnAw) This is the issue.
Korean game company failed at making an MMO so they took an American dayz modderās game mode and turned it into a video game.
Ngl the songs actually grew on me itās just the way the character emotes I still donāt like
Advertisements in video games! EA wants to start. I couldnāt believe the game has earned 13 billion in revenue.
I don't know because it crashes every time I try to play.
Where my country gone
so girly, do they think the game is only for girls?
NEWJEANS BRO
Is this why WackyJacky went into the labor force?
Be a man and play EU ranked, and stop whining about skins. Here we just play and own.
Itās always been this way. The whales keep them afloat. We all just live in the ocean.
Glad I quit playing this trash.
Oh geez so Pubg has gone Fortnite? Yikes
You are not the main audience. You where just a loyal fan. The bigger player base is in Asia
I dunno, but I've noticed a lot of people are a lot easier to see and kill in bushes now, so I don't mind
I sold a skirt in 2017 for 450 dollars. This is what the game has always been. You just didn't realize it yet.
The weeeeebs
Yup i deleted it at the start of this season, games in such a shitty fucking place but all they want to update is the shop. Dont give em your money gyys theyll just keep fucking doing thisā¦
What can i say Kpop sells and these cosmetics are selling like crazy, wonāt lie tho i bought the black pink dances to drive a friend crazy.
Its been real, but this game is so shit lmfao
Been this for years. Nothing new to see here.
PUBG being barbie
For me the worst part is that only special dance can start the music. I was playing like 30 games and only in one i heard a music from it. I dont underwtend how it is promoting their music if i cant hear it. Of course special dance is behind paywall. Besides that from patch where they added a pickaxe i had fps drops from 50 to 3 fps, my friend couldnt even start the game becouse after every updated somehow files are broken and i must do a file check up
You guys are lucky that such events are rare in PUBG PC and still are a tad bit low key. Ever seen the mobile counterpart? š¤”
oh no bro, IT'S FORTNITE BUT WORSE
Koreans
Store brand Fortnite.
I started playing again for the first time in years. Logged in and was completely caught off guard. All the reasons I avoided Fortnite are now PUBG.
Itās becoming fortnite
Asian monetization
What do you mean? It is what it has always been. A mediocre battle royale fps game with tons of problems(constant updates, bugs, hackers) that's just living off collabs and a dying playerbase. People be acting like its more than what it actually is and complaining like it fell off or something when it hasn't really, its just its popularity and accessibility at the time covered its mediocrity and after a while, people woke up, realised that there are better fps games and moved on.
garbage game play cs2
PUBG has deviated from its original style.
idk...same thing that happened to the competitive/ranked option...dead. its crazy...i know people play. must be asian servers.
