PUBG, the game that ignited the battle royale craze, turns 8 years old soon, and I feel ancient

PUBG is about to turn eight years old. That fact gives me a lot of feelings, but one of the biggest is back pain.

It’s really only been eight years since PUBG came out? Eight years since the battle royale phenomenon truly began? PUBG wasn’t the first BR game (H1Z1 comes to mind), but it is the one that truly brought it to the mainstream. Everyone was playing it, streaming it, or making content around it back then, and it felt like it was the biggest thing in the world after it became available in early access on March 23, 2017.
