This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

IIRC it was a joke mode to make fun of how popular BRs were.

I don't think this is quite right as BRs were new at the time. When Fortnite released there was really only PUBG in the battle royale space.

I believe it was something closer to a prototype they made in a month or two simply because they liked Battle Royales and thought it would be a fun gamemode to add a side thing.

I couldn't remember the name of this one, but looking it up, it actually had really good numbers in the range of 80-150k concurrent players.

So I was wrong, I recalled PUBG being the dominant game at the time with very little of anything else near its numbers.
