There's nothing new under the sun.

If you keep pointing at technicalities you're going to find that not much of anything is original or a new idea. I think PUBG gets the credit.

This is a very shortsighted stance on this. It's not a technicality. H1Z1 was released almost 2 years earlier.

It was, and will always be the first stand alone battle royale game.

You also underestimate the popularity of H1Z1 back in the day. The creator of PUBG was even a consultant there, before developing PUBG.
