Concept

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has made its stellar debut on Xbox One. As such, Bluehole and Microsoft have been working really hard to make sure that people know about the port of the popular game of 2017. However, it seems like a Reddit user wasn’t really that happy with one of the promotions.

It seems like Microsoft (Or at least someone from Microsoft) stole an advertisement concept made by Reddit user Macsterr. He made this advertisement where you can see a game’s character walking on one of the open fields of the game.

Well, it turns out that Microsoft posted an advertisement on their Twitter page for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. It turns out that there are so many similarities between this advertisement concept and the picture posted by Xbox themselves.

As such, the Reddit user made a thread where he makes a comparison between his ad concept and the ad from Microsoft. Of course, the community was starting to feel outraged by this situation and the pitchforks were being lifted while torches were being set ablaze.

However, Microsoft quickly responded to this by taking down the image promoting the game. However, as you can see above there was a screenshot of the original add provided by Macsterr himself.

Now, Macsterr mentions that his ad concept that there’s no copyright over his concept. However, this promotional ad concept also saw around 63 thousand views. He wouldn’t have been this upset at Xbox or Microsoft were he given credit for the original concept.

However, Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb, one of the leads in Xbox LIVE has made sure that Macsterr’s concerns aren’t left unaddressed: “I wanted to let you know that this is being investigated. In the meantime, our official channels have pulled down the asset in question. I’ll follow up with the OP /u/macsterr/ once I get more details.”

Now, could this have been a human error or a complete stealing by one of Xbox’s employees? That is left for you to decide.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.
