Yeah, can't really compare this asymmetrical horror game to a shooting game like PUBG.
Different style games call for different styles of players.

Plus, I have seen PUBG advertised but never really saw DBD advertised.

When dbd came out, it have been on top 5/10 on twitch for weeks. Not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad for a buggy game. I think they did a pretty good job xD

For real, dbd was the first on his kind of game, f13 gone wiped. Dbd is pretty popular among the horror type games imo

we could hypothesize about it, but probably boils down to "war"

that game is very popular in Asian countries, they love shooting games.

However, games with excessive gore like this always have less popularity in Asian regions.

Things to do wityh Death and horror are not as openly accepted on that side of the world, in fact, many games have to be altered graphically before being sold there. Censorship of gore would probably hault sales of this game in certain regions.

Inlike PUBG which exploded in asian regions

Because the Devs of DBD aren't self proclaimed pricks and actually have to TRY to get recognition

I just wanna say, because of no loot chest to put the items on the Market for 200+Dollars.

Pubg = balanced around gameplayers actual skill and a more realistic gamestyle.
DBD = Things like pallet looping and facecamping and gamebreaking crutch perks exist in it where any other game development company already would know not too have these things in ther game for the very reasons they are problems in DBD. They would be exploited.
