A public multiplayer lobby in a video game; known for being casual and
unorganized. This term also refers to people who exclusively play or are known to play on public multiplayer
lobbies, aka public players. Such players are often viewed as noobs or as casual by the organized demographic of the
gaming community; those who are part of a gaming group that participates in private or competitive gameplay.
Example:
CLAN | Gamer156: Wanna play pubs real quick while
we wait?
CLAN | Gamer295: Yea, I'll hop in a pub and invite you. I needed to warm up anyway.
CLAN | Gamer156: I think I might try and
recruit some pubs for the clan while
I'm there.
CLAN | Gamer295: Good luck. Most pubs are only interested in casual gameplay, and, if you do recruit a pub, you'll probably get a noob.
CLAN | Gamer156: We were both noobs at one point. I'm sure there's a pub out there who wants to spice up their gameplay a little.
