Six years ago ,Brendan Greene earn $300 a month and now $1 billion in revenue in 2018
Six year ago ,Brendan Greene was 37 , divorced and making $300 a month. Today he is creator of the massively popular "battle royale" genre and one of its top games , PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds ,which brought in an estimated $1 billion ( approximately 71,32,15,00,000 rs) , in revenue in 2018.
Greene was not in a great place in 2013. He was stuck in Brazil , where he'd moved with his wife , but their marriage ended in diverce .Scraping by on the money he made from photographing weddings and designing websites, Greene was trying to save enough to buy a plane ticket back home to Ireland.
That meant cutting back on expenses like eating out and socializing, so to entertain himself, Greene turned to vides games.
In 2014 ,Greene says ,he had finally saved enough money to move back to Ireland, but he had trouble finding work near his hometown of Kildare. He moved with his parents to a social welfare. The government gave him about 180 euros per week .
Greene parents were "really worried" that he was so focused on making free gaming mods and asked him if he was making money from his hobby.
"I told them, 'There a possibility I could make my own game someday . But right now no," he says , as his battle royale mods had mostly only caught on with small community of hardware online gamers.
In late 2014 ,after about six months of living with his parents and taking government welfare, Greene got a call from the Sony developer and the company asked him to work as a consultant on a game called H1Z1 so could license his battle royale concept to use in tha game.
And after some time in 2016 ,south Korean game company Bluehole (now Krafton Game Union) reached out to Greene about developing his own battle royale title ,which would become PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds (or PUBG).
