PUBG developers have drop from the court offensive at Fortnite

Earlier in the year, the South Korean branch of company Bluepoint, under the name PUBG Corp., filed the lawsuit against Epic Games, which, it seems, fired a blank. For an unknown reason, after six months in PUBG Corp, they dropped the lawsuit in which Epic Games was charged with theft of intellectual property and like that wrote another defeat on the battlefield.

It is speculated that the reason why the court process was dropped could be the content of the indictment in which Epic Games allegedly was not guilty of stealing content but of the idea. Not only is the idea of a slippery terrain alone, but in the case of battle royale, it is additionally stretched how's even possible for anyone to accuse the theft of a concept that had already appeared in 2000 in the same movie, in games a several years before the appearance PUBG.

Although it is still unknown whether the dispute might have been resolved outside the court, this lawsuit was more like a desperate attempt to make the PUBG somehow "back in the game." Fortnite's popularity is growing day by day; today it is played by more than 125 million people, and with the number of players, Fortnite beat its competitor already in the third month of this year.
