Born on 1956, Brendan is a lead designer and director of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, popularly known as PUBG. He was born in Ballyshannon, Ireland.

Prior to his achievements, Greene was studying arts in college, which was the turning point in his life because that's when he realized that he didn't want to be a struggling artist without a cause; he wanted more.

He opened up about how his girlfriend from his college years made him see what he truly wanted out of life. In an interview with CNET, he said,

I was dating a girl at the time who was a graphic designer and a web designer, and I saw that as a way to make money from art, rather than become a struggling artist.

Before involving himself in developing games, he worked in a variety of jobs as a photographer, web designer, and graphic designer.

However, in 2013 the game DayZ ignited up his interest in the gaming field and inspired him to develop games.

The journey, however, was not an easy one and had to withstand a backlash from people who suggested him to get a real job and focus on earning. But his games, esp. PUBG proved his haters wrong after which he gained recognition all over the world, and the audience loved it.

In the present, he has been spending time in the Seoul office directing the tuning and polishing of PUBG before its release on Christmas.

2. Greene's Family Life: Making Parents Proud

As with all tech-nerds, Brendan's personal life has been under the wraps. He loves to keep his matters lowkey, away from the spotlight. However, he never fails to credit his family when the opportunity arises.

Now my parents are just proud as punch. My dad tells me on a very regular basis how he proud he is. I didn't want to let them down.

His love for his family has been an immense inspiration for him throughout his career, especially more now that he is filthy rich and can take care of them!

5.  PUBG Corp "Can’t provide people with free servers"

Brendan Green had spoken in early July in 2018 that despite PUBG custom matches hadn't been associated with any cost; the corporation might start charging modders in the future. The battle royale's developer aka PlayerUnknown himself explained about it in an interview with PCGamesN.

Greene said paywalls would be required—be that with real money or in-game currency.  He further added that PUBG Corp "can’t provide people with free servers" as doing so is not financially viable. He shared his own experience from many years back, stating,

"I was a modder for many years, and I didn’t expect ARMA to provide me with free servers to mod on, and it’s the same with this." 

From what the Steam Charts show, the game's peak concurrent player count over the last 30 days hit 1,438,538 (689,670 average). However, Greene told PCGamesN that  "sales of a game can only last you so long."
