PUBG SUES Fortnite Over Battle Royale!

@Gregos this is from the PC gamer website explains more about it "In September last year, a Bluehole representative clarified with us that it wasn't Fortnite's inheritance of the Battle Royale mode that was concerning. "We just want to emphasize this is only a problem because Epic Games is the company that makes the engine we use and we pay a large amount of royalties to them. And we had this business relationship and we had trust that we would be getting continued support, and we were looking forward to working more closely with them to get technical support, maybe develop new features. "But our name was used to officially promote their game without our knowledge. There was no discussion. It was just a bit surprising and disappointing to see our business partner using our name officially to promote the game mode that is pretty similar to us and there was misunderstanding in the community that we're officially involved in the project." "

@Gregos I read that it was about UI and weapon items, not sure where the key similarity is though, seems like a lost case to me

@reasontofreak maybe the case but i'd be fairly annoyed either way, everyone seems to hate on pubg for this but they use the unreal 4 engine so pay enough to epic without epic copying their game you would have thought. there is definitely more blatant rip offs of pubg that change nothing from it, same style maps, art, ui ect. that could do with getting crushed under a lawsuit for being cash grab trash.

@Gregos Agreed. Epic are already making a lot of money from PUBG's popularity, they are just being greedy dicks.

@SteelHooves omfg you've actually got a great point

@CuBoSe1000 What, compared to a company that bullies, buysout and shits on competing indie's and other small devs, never mind clearly ripping off PUBG's IP - I'm sure if PUBG had the money that Epic had from the start they'd have a better (technically) game too. But feel free to back the monopolistic behaviour of one of the industry's worst (yeah, yeah EA is worse but so is Satan and Hitler, what's that got to do with it?)

@AlexRangel97 You're probably right with the parachuting thing, but the game masters in Hunger games definitely herded the "players" to a focal point for them to kill each other (or be killed by the arena).
