I cant tell you jow many kids play this. I had an 8yr old on my squad the other day.
There’s no way this case doesn’t get thrown out. You can’t patent ideas. The battle royale concept isn’t something anyone can iwn. Can Nintendo sue Sega for copying Mario with Sonic? Can the creators of Doom sue the creators of Wolfenstein? Fortnite is in no way similar to PUBG beyond the initial battle royale concept, and the gameplay addition of building makes it almost a whole new genre of its own.dont realize h1z1 isnt the first BR game either brehs
H1Z1, like Fortnite, was originally a whole another game with a different objective. H1Z1 was originally a zombie survival crafting game (like Rust). You used to craft bows and arrows. The game didnt pick up traction even though they were sponsoring every big streamer at the time. So they made a separate mode called Battle Royal which was copied from Day-Z's battle royal, which was a mod in itself since it was originally a mod for Arma.
The main thing here is it shows how important it is to patent ideas, no matter how small (even though Day-Z/Arma 3 sold millions) of a concept.
One of the first questions Sharks on Shark Tank ask are "do you have any patents" because they know this is the key to getting paid if someone wants to lease your idea.
This gets tricky because the original creator of Battle Royal (Players Unknown, which is why its called Player Unknowns Battleground. Its not the developer studio, Player Unknown is the name of the modder who originally created Day-Z on Arma 2 and then switched to Arma 3), also worked on H1Z1 and Day-Z battle royals.
The reason PUBG has a case against Fortnite is because they took the entire concept.
If you break it down to just killing other people then yeah no one has a case because "battle royal" could just be Free For All death match mode all the way back to Quake/Doom eras
What makes Battle Royal (speifically H1z1, PUBG and Fortnite) different is you enter the zone in a unique way, you gather items, then try to eliminate enemies in a way they cant respawn, while the map shrinks via outside source (gas, electric field, etc.) -- so its not like call of duty/unreal tournament/quake death matches.
The ISSUE is Player Unknown did NOT work on Fortnite like he did H1Z1, PUBG and Day-Z. They just copied and pasted his work into Fortnite with more cartoony graphics.
He'll win this case, but itll be years from now.
cut the shyt
its the same fukking game outside of the building part and cartoon graphics came out in 1992, Doom came out in 1993 
Stop posting dumb shyt to defend Fortnite thats why they are so similar
The Blizzard strategy to destroy its competition - make it more accessible. If you notice all the most popular games in history usually take less to run than the competition.
It’s the same concepts. I’m not defending anything beyond how the law works. You can’t patent an idea and Fortnite is different enough in its own right to exist as a separate entity. How are my examples dumb? This is exactly like those other examples. Besides getting the dates wrong (which is honestly easy to do as they came out so close together damn near 30 years ago), the point still stands. Ok, then every first person shooter post Doom and Wolfenstein could have been sued then?cut the shyt
Well first things first, Wolfenstein came out before Doom, so what leg would Doom have to stand on to sue Wolfenstein since Wolfenstein was created first? Yall really just come on here and type whatever with 0 backing of history or knowledge on the subject
Wolfenstein is largely credited to be the first real FPS
to go into more detail, those examples you used are horrible. Nintendo owns Sonic now, Doom and Wolfenstein were created by the same company (ID software) why would they sue themselves?? They are both under the same developer
Thats like saying why doesnt H1Z1 sue PUBG? Because they were created by the same fukking person
And obviously I’m talking about Nintendo suing before they bought the IP. Why would you even try and take that angle?
Pretty much.For what?
It’s pretty clear, they’re suing them nikkas
Fartnite pretty much did steal PUBG shyt and is only as popular because it’s free and not an exclusive.
I have zero cares about anything i read here

you can tell who the casuals are in the battle royale community becauuse they think the genre started with pubg
there are plenty of mods to games with the same gameplay loop
fortnite is the king right now
I'm gonna have to disagree with just about everything you typed here, and Korean courts will too. It is what it is.
