One crappy game suing the other crappy game ... lol Read more about it here: Fortnite sued for 'copying' rival game PUBG WWW.BBC.COM The makers of the hit video game are accused of copying rival PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
May 29, 20187 yr I saw this. I honestly don't know why the suit hasn't happened before. I'd be willing to bet PUBG is losing ground to Fortnite now.
May 29, 20187 yr Yeah i saw this article this morning. Glad it got posted. PUBG is losing ground to fortnite. PUBG is the money maker still.
May 31, 20187 yr I saw this. I honestly don't know why the suit hasn't happened before. I'd be willing to bet PUBG is losing ground to Fortnite now. It has lost a lot of players to Fortnite, unfortunately for them it's their own fault for allowing the cheating, skins trading/farming, poor netcode etc etc. Now they are suing the Korean Epic branch. IMHO I'm guessing it's because suing the US branch would be problematic given the quote below from Brendan "Player Unkown" Greene: "No, it's great," he continued after some laughter from the crowd. "I mean it's great that the battle royale space is expanding, and that Fortnite is getting [the] battle royale game mode into hands of a lot more people. So, you know, it grows the genre. That's it, really." “It’s not really the case that we’re annoyed with Fornite, it’s because of conflicts of interest with Epic and that was our point to the press, it wasn’t really communicated well,” Both of those quotes from the guy who created the whole Battle Royale deal and PUBG in particular could be problematic in US based courts which is exactly why they are filing against the Korean branch in Korea. Shopping for a sympathetic court ya know. I played several rounds of PUBG recently and while it has gotten better there is still a LOT of low hanging fruit. That said the games play completely different and share no real similarities other than is a 100 player free for all. PUBG weapons require a modicum of skill to use where as all but the sniper rifles in Fortnite are hitscan weapons. There is no bloom in PUBG to worry about, inventory space in PUBG is limited where as Fortnight you can heft around an armory worth of ammo should you feel like it. If PUBG development would listen to the legitimate concerns of those providing feedback and address the main issues with the game they would have nothing to worry about but like so many development teams they do not. I quit playing mainly because the high ping players would warp all over the screen, you can shoot them and see blood spray yet they take no damage and they one shot you. The cheaters in PUBG is another main reason. I cant count the times I was shot from accross the map by a guy with a name in Chinese. Institute ping limits / region lock server and get a handle on your code so that cheats are not prevalent and you should be in a fine spot to compete. Fortnite being free to play also helps it a LOT.
May 31, 20187 yr Yeah i saw this article this morning. Glad it got posted. PUBG is losing ground to fortnite. PUBG is the money maker still. Uhhh nope. Fortnite surpasses PUBG in monthly revenue with $126 million in February sales - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM The free-to-play survival shooter is raking in cash from in-app purchases In April Fortnight pulled in 300mil in transactions for skins and emotes etc. Epic has been making games a lot longer than BlueHole / PUBG Corp and honestly since they designed the engine both use have a leg up on making it work well. I love PUBG when its working and not over run with hacks, which to say, isn't the experience recently. Fortnight just works and plays exceedingly well. Edited May 31, 20187 yr by NetRngr
