| PUBG Files Copyright Lawsuit to Shut Down Competition The creators of PUBG have filed a lawsuit against NetEase, the developer of mobile games "Rules of Survival" and "Knives Out," for allegedly copying their work and confusing the public into thinking the titles are affiliated. According to the complaint, everything from buildings and vehicles to weapons were copied, in addition to iconic salutes such as the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner." Specifically, PUBG asks the court to order NetEase "to remove each and every version of the games Rules of Survival, Knives Out, and similarly infringing games, from distribution and to cease developing and supporting those games." While it appears obvious that Rules of Survival and Knives Out are inspired by PUBG, it's up to the court to determine whether the copyright infringement and unfair competition claims hold. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2018/04/...competit ion/ |
