Uhhh no that mod is no where near what pubg is! Not trying to defend him, but really there was no game like the arma 2 mod.BF1942 w/ servers setup for no spawn. I recall quite well playing on and setting up servers for fun where it was no respawn FFA (Respawn was technically still enabled, but the timer was set to like 20 minutes) and we'd see who would last the longest. Basically battlegrounds. On a smaller scale I could rattle off any number of mods for Quake/Unreal/HL that were basically FFA elimination as well. Front Line Force in particular, or certain lightly scripted/modded flavors of HLDM I distinctly recall having modes like this.
It's not a new concept. It's just that it was never considered as building an entire game around. The only 'new' thing this guy did with it was introduce the diminishing play area size. No one is saying he didn't substantially advance the game style, but to say he should have a 'patent' on it is laughable.
But I do agree I think he is being a baby about it.
