No :p
Pretty much the opposite actually. It's made by a western dev and has no nudity or fanservice. So people can talk about it with no guilt/shame hence the so much talk. It's nothing great as well. Ok decent polished free VN.

PUBG with its bad optimization tops the charts even in terms of sale :facepalm:

Same can be said about Nier too, but it's not PUBG level bad. This gives publishers like Ubisoft more reason to lower priority on optimization.

I have not played PUBG in PC, as no time to even turn the PC on. But I have played it for a couple of times in mobile, nice game and graphics. Although everytime someone kills me when there are less than 10 players left. My best was when there were only 2 players left and my teammate shot me ha ha

Mobile version in surprisingly optimized when compared to PC. A GTX 750Ti can barely run it at 60fps at lowest settings at 720p. No wonder xbox struggles with its weak CPU.

Mobile PUBG is probably made by another developer.

More like 33 million. And majority of it is China. And Valve lost the rights to publish PUBG in China to Tencent recently. So the numbers are higher considering Tencent's platform into account.
