PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds developers upset with copy of Fortnite

Fortnite copies PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in its Battle Royale mode and the developers of the latter game publish a rather annoying press release with this crude copy.

When a game arrives and hits it, it doesn't take long for games that replicate the experience of the first one, with little or no change. This is happening now with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a game that is breaking it in an unprecedented way for a game in Early Access, which will be replicated by Fortnite, a game that will introduce a Battle Royale mode, which seems to be traced to the Bluehole game . The game developers have seen this similarity on the part of the Epic Games game, something that, as normal, has not sat well at all.

Bluehole, does not go around the bush and qualifies it as a copy, as can be seen in the note that the developers of PUBG have passed to Kotaku: “We have had a constant relationship with Epic Games throughout the development of PUBG, since they are the creators of Unreal Engine 4, the engine we use for the game. After listening to our community and reviewing these messages, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience PUBG is known for. "

Not only this, they have also highlighted that in the Fortnite promotion, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is referred to directly, so the move is served. The Epic game is sold as an alternative and this, according to those responsible for Bluehole: 'we were never notified or met with us and we do not believe that this was the right thing to do'. The reference in the game card in Fortnite's PlayStation makes it quite clear: “Yes, we have created a PvP mode for Fortnite. We love Battle Royale games like PUBG and we thought Fortnite would be a great platform for our own version. "

The copy does not go unnoticed, because come on, if they tell us that it is a video of some fans, who have replicated some scenes in Cartoon mode, we would believe it anyway.
