[2021] Just because I don't play aggressively doesn't mean I can't

Timing out was actually never intended to happen. When we shipped the game, there were no rounds in which we realised it would be possible. We didn't even know what would happen.

Fortunately, the game kind of handles it... But there's no special code/logic to handle drawing/ties. We literally didn't know it would be possible when we launched.

It's something I think we're going to code in properly in future, but also, I think the general idea is to try and design the game around having one winner.

The idea of any other battle royale rewarding everyone if they all stay alive instead of shooting each other is pretty funny lol.

You're being a reductionist if you're trying to attribute movement in the Daily Active Users to the presence of game mechanics that have been in the game since its inception.

We've continuously been improving the game since we launched it and taking on community feedback. Just to give a few examples of things we heard the community feedback on, and then addressed - Quitting at any point, Squads mode, seeing your squad fall with you on the loading screen, being able to spectate your squadmates first. We also prioritise bugs by how many tickets we get through support. It may take longer than is ideal, but we're getting through them and fixing things. "Grabbing is completely broken" is an exaggeration. Many players are not facing the same issues. Please can I check that you've submitted a ticket to support to help bump up the issues that you're seeing?

With regards to us being "out of touch" with what people enjoy about the game - We're listening all of the time and reading everything. It may feel like the whole community agrees on something, for example, "grabbing bad and should be banned" but that's not actually accurate when you look across the entire playerbase and community.
