Can you explain what you mean by bad copyright laws and why the outcome would be different somewhere else because I'm not following. You can watch Matpat explain it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_6gpaj_L04" data-time=" or read this: South Korea have been super slow in creating basic copyright laws, pretty much 150 years later than the US, so the way they go about copyright is very different to other places. They, like the US, believe expressions are copyrightable but ideas aren't, which is good news for Fortnite, but they also believe an author's moral rights allows them to claim paternity rights in order to preserve the integrity of their product - this is bad news, if you couldn't tell. Through this court, it could be deemed that although PUBG didn't create the Battle Royale genre they did act as the father to the 100-player system, with loot drops, a pre-game play lobby, and falling out of the sky, to name a few, all being in the same game, which means Epic Games could have based their game off it. If this is seen as credible, then PUBG can express their paternal rights over Fortnite, as it's an unauthorised alteration of their format.
