I'm not sure what you are are "not so'ing"? Are you suggesting the PUBG model is ubiquitous? I mean, sure, PUBG is popular, but it's popular because once you are dead, getting another game is less than 60 seconds away.

But saying PUBG model is ubiquitous? No, the die and respawn is in fact the common model, and I don't see that changing outside of battle royale style games.

I was saying not so to this statement and giving a recent example:

> "Lack of a player elimination mechanic" is nearly ubiquitous in action games
