Haven't played video games for a while.
What the hell is PUBG?

it's like dayz but you can't be outside some zone that keeps moving or you die

What?

Chinese are starting to spend money.
If your country isn't in on it you live in a country full of idiots.

5 million new accounts of simplified chinese doesn't leave much up for interpretation.

It's like the film battle royale

No, it's because Chinese, Taiwanese and Koreans like PUBG and besides, since the 30th of October, Steam is finally requiring to verify e-mail addresses AT registration for new Steam users which actually helps with bots
