Confused: PvP games

Okay, this is more of a discussion topic I guess. Because I get confused of some guidelines mentioned.

Games like Fortnite BR, PUBG and other PvP games won't be added to src because of obvious reasons.

But why are games like Astr.io accepted to the site?

Astr.io is added to the site on 20 juli 2018, not in a serie. I mean, isn't Astr.io the same as a PvP game? It all depends on other online players.

Do I miss something? I am curious what the difference is.

I haven't a clue, its just meme categories as well, it's not even about the game.

Would also like to know more about this, but I think as a whole it would be cool to have a record of why games are accepted or rejected,not sure if its feasible but would be helpful.

I really don't understand this because we've discussed fortnite recently and why it would be rejected, so it's odd to see what is a similar type of game, be accepted...

Whenever these topics come up, it’s always a good idea to remember that sometimes games slip through. Sometimes a game gets approved when it shouldn’t (admin/mod wasn’t paying attention, thought they were approving a different game, etc). Mistakes happen, so in cases like this it doesn’t mean rules aren’t being followed by the site staff or there’s a difference between the game and others, it could just be that someone made a mistake in the approval process.

@Timmiluvs this is true. Yet I was wondering if it was a mistake or one of the admins has a reason behind it.

.io games are generally small pvp games where players have no control of the room they are in or the players they are playing with. That'd be my guess. They aren't really subject to manipulation by having given players in a room, etc., and individual players have no way to customize or alter their character.
