Meh....PUBG is an early access title....and it is fully playable. Oh, it needs some optimization, polish, and hopefully more content...but it is well worth $30 even in its current state. PU has enough cred from his mod work in the past that I'm fine supporting this one.
Funny thing is, I'd put this one up against quite a few of the fully released games folks have bought for $60.

Well anyone who's hobby is gaming would be annoyed that our species is so stupid it will buy unfinished games before they are even complete. How many games have been released in EA and then once the developer has the money then abandons it?
Anyone who cares about gaming should be rightfully annoyed about it's negative effects on games as a whole.
