The tensions between Epic Games and PUBG Corp have been at an all-time high ever since Fortnite swooped down and conquered the battle royal genre, which was dominated by PUBG before that. It seems like the boiling point was reached, as PUBG Corp filed a lawsuit against Epic Games for copyright infringement, but keep in mind that they said that it this doesn’t have anything to do with the Battle Royal mode of Fortnite. Even though they said that, it still seems like the developers of PUBG are mad that the free-to-play mode of Fortnite took all the attention away from their own battle royal shooter.
As we found out in the PC Gamer post, the Seoul Central District Court is going to decide who is the winner of this lawsuit. This seems like a very strange move by PUBG Corp, especially when you consider that PUBG wasn’t even close to being the first battle royal title, but we will have to wait and see who ends up victorious in a battle royal between PUBG Corp and Epic Games.
There is no specified date for when the lawsuit is going to begin, but everyone is going to keep their eyes peeled for this debacle, and we are all eager to see just how all of this will end. As we learned multiple times in the past couple of years, video game developers don’t play nice with one another, especially if they have similar games.
