The world is not the field of dreams. Don't move forward with a plan like this.

Pubg was made by an extremely well known modder with a huge following.

So many people have the mistaken impression that marketing doesn't matter. There is a reason companies like Google can make billions of dollars a year selling ads. It is because marketing is actually incredibly important.

Making the best game you can is table stakes. To get those gamers crawling through glass you need them to know it exists.

Extremely well known and experienced modder, PLUS a highly competent Korean game development studio.

So essentially, AA production values and a highly talented game designer who'd perfected the gameplay formula.
