Squid Game has its origin battle royale genre, in which you are ultimately competing with everyone.

While Gantz rewards only individual players, it is not a battle royale. Teammwork is basically essential for survival.

What's with the hate of borrowing concepts from other shows? By that standard I haven't really seen much of a real original concept in the last couple of decades.
