PUBG Is Suing Epic Games Over Fortnite

The developers behind **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** detailed a new update and admitted to players that they have dropped the ball over the past year. In posts on both the Steam Community forum and subreddit for the game, PUBG ’s developers addressed a number of issues, including concerns regarding loot boxes and continued flow of randomized cosmetics being a priority for the stu

However, the facts remain: Fortnite is here, free-to-play, and, unlike its Battle Royale inspiration, doesn’t include any " gambling " for skins. PUBG , on the other hand, features randomized crates earned through regular play, with premium crates unlockable by keys. Those keys need to be purchased with real money, which leaves players unwilling to buy them, which leaves the option of either keeping unopened crates inert in their inventory or selling them on the Steam marketplace. These mechanics foster an elaborate economy, generating a system which fuels continued income to the game. On the other hand, it also creates undue frustration for many of its players, all of whom have already spent money to purchase the game in the first place and feel put off by microtransacti

The former esports star has one of the biggest Twitch channels on the site, with over 3 million followers tuning in to watch the skilled shooter rack up kills in PUBG , Fortnite , and other games in the battle royale genre. He is so popular that, in the last month, Grzesiek and fellow Twitch star DrDisRespect partnered up with PUBG to have weapon skins created in their honor, with sales conveniently wrapping a week ago. Grzesiek’s success shows no signs of slowing, even while PUBG finds its numbers drop by over half due to Fortnite’s growing populari

Both Bluehole and Epic Games had worked together in the past, but that relationship was damaged once the latter launched Fortnite 's battle royale mode back in September of last year. Shortly after the mode launched, Bluehole Vice President Chang Han Kim released a statement saying that the company was " concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known ." In the months since release, Epic Games' third-person shooter has surpassed PUBG in both player count and revenue, which has presumedly hurt relationships between the two companies further. Additionally, Epic Games has teamed up with Neowiz Games, not Bluehole, to bring Fortnite to the Korea market in the second quarter of 2

According to Kotaku , Grzesiek has been given a month long ban due to a clip where he and fellow streamer Wadu were joined by a hacker. In the circulating video, the hacker sends cars flying around them, creating barriers, later using one of the cars to carry the duo to the next playzone. Grzesiek scores a kill after being alerted to another player hiding in a nearby house. At one point, he states "I’m getting banned," not that the possibility appears to put a damper on his m

The latest developer letter on Steam is focused on the game's optimizations as well as its new map Sanhok (formerly known under its code name "Savage"), which will include new vehicles and even an exclusive weapon. Free updates are all well and good, but the studio's communications lead PUBG_Riggles took to Reddit to speak about PUBG 's loot boxes . People don't want them, PUBG has them, and they’ve been a persistent focus for the game’s development while optimization issues, cheaters, and other nasty bits of business have seemingly warranted more attention than they’ve received. This has not gone unnoticed by the game’s massive community, which boasts over 600,000 subscribers to the official subred

This lawsuit will likely have some important ramifications in the gaming scene beyond Korea. It will be interesting to see how the Korean court differentiates a game being clearly inspired by another and https://pubgstation.Com/ one that infringes upon copyright. Until then, both games will continue to be money-making machines for their respective compan

It's nice to see PUBG Mobile 's developers feed some new modes into the game as well as make adjustments and improvements. With a few smart gameplay tweaks compared to the main game, PUBG Mobile quickly became one of the more popular battle royale mobile games at launch. Maybe the main game can even learn a thing or two from its mobile counterp

The video and subsequent response from PUBG has left fans split over whether their frustration should be directed at the brevity of the ban or the underlying problem the game has with cheaters. Hackers frequently appear in matches, messing with actual players in order to advertise their work. The game’s anti-cheat system, BattlEye, announced back in February that they had banned over 1 million players, yet the problem persists. Towards the end of the clip, Grzesiek appeared to address the issue. "It really goes to show that PUBG, full offense to you guys, don’t give a s*** because that guy should have been banned immediately." He doesn't appear to notice the ir
