The latest legal controversy...
So fortnight is being sued by PUBG got "copyrighting" battle Royale. What are your opinions on what you can copyright and who should win.
My thoughts are below
[spoiler] fortnight should win because you can't copy a game type. It's the same reason I can't copyright 2+2 and sue any school that uses it. Just like how CoD can't sue every other game for being a shooter, or why battlefield can't sue Cod for using ww2[/spoiler]

1 ReplyWhere is the Minecraft Survival Games option, as they were the original and deserved to copyright all other forms of their superior game mode.

Edited by Stonebrixxx2: 6/5/2018 12:55:24 AMThe owners of PUBG are just salty about their success. This whole thing is dumb. If PUBG can sue Fortnite, what’s to stop H1Z1 from suing PUBG?
-
PUBG is suing the creator of their engine and some of their assets? Do other developers bite the hand that feeds them?
-
PUBG wasn't even the first to do Battle Royale. Not sure what grounds they stand on.

Neither

Here’s a better idea *wipes my A*+ with toilet paper* Here’s a real mans game
-
Probably shouldn’t use Epics game engine if you plan on petty suing them Pubg gonna end up on CliffyB levels of failures
-
How can you copyright a battle royal format, it’s bollocks like that that will prevent better games being developed and let the owners of the copyright be lazy with their game! -blam!- them 🖕🏿
-
I don't really care. There are much bigger things to be focusing on.
-
Copyrighting a gamemode? Seriously? Whoever let that happen/is letting it happen needs to be fired. And hopefully this debacle is the nail in the coffin of Battle Royale games, because let's face it: This shit got old fast.

Roblox.

Pubg should win because -blam!- fortnite

The lawsuit probably won’t go anywhere, but you have to admit, PUBG is the only reason BR fortnite exists. Fortnite had been in the works for a while, and focused entirely on the PVE game mode. Then Epic’s Paladins flops, PUBG is wildly successful, and all of a sudden the previously PVE horde builder/shooter is a BR game that’s essentially identical the PUBG in every significant way. Now Fortnite is arguably more successful than PUB, and that just seems pretty shitty to me.
