PUBG has set a new record of 3M concurrent players on Steam. However, to further put this number in perspective, 1.5M bans have been handed out since it's been out. I can't believe how popular it is and it just keeps growing and growing. However, I haven't tried it, but I'll give it shot...

So there has been quite a bit of discussion about the Prey demo being a console-only release. And we are not the only ones that felt like the game was telegraphing suckage by doing so. So much in fact that Arkane Studios talked specifically about Prey being optimized for PC so as to not be a...
