The Importance of Building in Fortnite Battle Royale: Live Lessons From Twitch
A popular criticism towards Epic's Fortnite Battle Royale is that it is almost too similar to Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. They share many features, like a high player count, single death survival with a rapidly truncating map, jumping from a plane (battle bus?), supply drops and more.

10 Craziest PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Moments
The battle royale mega-hit known as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, currently in Early Access on Steam, is all about gathering supplies, playing strategically and knowing when (and when not) to start a potentially deadly firefight. Except when it’s not. In the handful of months since PUBG first arrived, players have shown time and time again that, sometimes, the best way to survive on an island filled with dozens of enemy players is to try an absurd strategy nobody could ever see coming.
