Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Project is a globally recognized, industry-leading gaming IP (PUBG) with verified multi-billion dollar revenue and hundreds of millions of users. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing lazy assertions ('everyone', 'most people') and factual inaccuracies (Launch Date 2009 vs actual 2017). The score reflects the undeniable massive scale and utility of the project, heavily penalized by the lack of effort and evidence in the submission data.
