I really hope they lose. This is some petty shit, the games are completely different. Both are great in their own right, but IMO fortnite has a smoother gameplay experience. Improve your game, drop the res on the Xbox one X, and implement new things more often.

I hope they lose and get their Unreal Engine license revoked, thats what you get for being a greedy little cunt.

This reminds me of another lawsuit between two companies from South Korea and America. Apple iPhone which was ripped off by Samsung Galaxy. That time the American company was first and ended up winning in court. Here it’s kind of the other way around.

If the PUBG devs breach the license agreement, EPIC can revoke the UE4 license. If they didn't, Epic legally can't.

The thing is everyone keeps assuming this is about the BR game mode.
Bluehole and Epic were meant to be partnered in Blueholes game development, and then all of a sudden another game of epic that was already out that no one was paying attention too suddenly takes not just the game mode, but all sort of elements of the game play.

If i was a smaller game developer and had an original idea for a game, I would have to think twice about partnering up with Epic.

It's all fine for people to use other peoples ideas, but if your a smaller company that's relying on your head start to establish yourself. You would be pretty niffed if a partner company used their insider information and started giving you product away for free.

@ravinash I did not know that Epic and Bluehole were supposed to be partners which makes the situation even worse on Epic's part. Not to mention Bluehole is already paying out royalties to Epic for using their engine in the first place. So not only are the potentially stealing their gameplay elements, they are also charging them to use engine! Bluehole is at a severe disadvantage here all thanks to Epic. This is totally a corporate vs indie battle. Unfortunately for Bluehole, even if they have a leg to stand on legally, I'd imagine Epic would just bleed them dry through court fees. It's a shame too because I truly believe pubg is the superior experience (playing on PC here).

Between the PUBG lawsuit and BFV social commentary game, I am going to purchase COD just to give them the finger. I wasn't going to due to the lack of a campaign. It would have been the first COD game I had skipped. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that. It may only be one vote so to speak, but it's my vote. Another reason I really do not want to see PUBG on the PS4. Jerk companies should be financially strangled.

Rec Room Battle Royal too. I dont have time for this PUBG BS with them making their drama public

The h1z1 and arma mods were both by player unknown, just being honest. So saying they were first is actually just more supportive that he made this type of gameplay. I just don't think the argument that a game mode can be copyrighted.

I took it to mean when your game is getting beaten then if you want to get back on top make the game that the most people want to play. Stop pushing a bug filled title on them, stop focusing on the competition and instead focus on your own product. Suing Epic in no way will make PUBG better. You don't automatically have a great game by eliminating the competition.

And better is a subjective idea. Raw numbers of players is not.

@morganfell

thats pretty much what i was trying to say in short :)

@nowitzki2004,

Not always, but in this case, I do think of Fortnite being the better game of the two despite the fact I've barely played either. If PUBG tightened their optimization, then they may have been able to put up a better fight despite the price difference.
