Things aren't going particularly well for PUBG, especially with the introduction of the controversial Even Pass. Many have abandoned the game, but this is definitely what the development won't be doing anytime soon, as revealed by PLAYERUNKNOWN himself.
Speaking with ESL, Brendan Green revealed that the team is currently refactoring the code trying to remove the band-aid fixes that have been implemented so far properly. The team has a long-term plan, fixing the game as well as optimizing it, and by doing major changes to the game's code, issues are expected.
Last week, another PUBG PC update has been released, introducing changes to the Event Pass.
