Ominous 1 hour stream from the PUBG Professor.... - Twitch

When WackyJacky101 a career solo FPP EU streamer, "Professor of PUBG" and pioneer of PUBG on Twitch, well known in the global PUBG community has to end his stream in just 90 minutes because he has to play TPP solos on Seoul server in forced FPP perspective then there is something very wrong with decision making at PUBG Corp. Are they trying to kill their game on purpose so they can shut down these servers to save upkeep costs? While bordering on conspiracy, this is an honest question?

PUBG corp has completely ignored repeated calls from the SA/NA AND EU (South/North American and European) COMMUNITY to MERGE TAEGO INTO RANDOM MAP. It is severely affecting queues in these 3 regions according to WJ himself on livestream.

What's the reason behind this?

"For those of our readers and viewers that might not be aware, PUBG is a triumph of Korean game development," Curd explained. "It’s their biggest game of all time, so there’s this real patriotic pride they have in this game. They really wanted to honor their homeland and show off a version of their world that isn’t traditionally seen in games.

Season 14 is another 30-45 days out before Taego is merged. Players that are having trouble queueing for the majority of gamemodes in these 3 regions may not stick around annihilating playerbase numbers.

Where is the logic in this decision for the longevity of PUBG when it is already 4 years old with steadily falling player counts? All this is doing is speeding up the inevitable death of a video game that was once an international phenomenon.
