Topic	Wow... PUBG Devs are actually going through with it... Sueing over Fortnite
known2FAIL 05/29/18 10:01:24 AM #1:	Seriously? What case can you possibly have? You don't own an entire genre. Way to throw your money away. LMAO https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pubg-creators-suing-over-fortnite-133900568.html Now the company behind PUBG is taking Fortnites creators to court. PUBG (the company), a subsidiary of Bluehole (the company behind PUBG, the game slightly confusing, I know), has filed a suit against Epic Games over copyright infringement concerns. The South Korean suit, noted by The Korea Times, takes particular issue with Fortnites battle royale mode. Bluehole has been vocal about the similarities since the new mode was released in September. The developer released a statement at the time, addressing growing concerns with its former partner. After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, the developer wrote, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known. PUBGs popularity has been declining since the beginning of this year, while Fortnite has continued to pick up steam. Last week, Epic announced that it would be investing $100 million into eSports competitions over the next two years. Epic declined offer a comment for this story. --- The Hanzo main; Potential DOOMFIST Main <cite>known2FAIL posted [p:902173522] in Wow... PUB... [t:76654038]...</cite> <quote>Seriously?
