Prepare to be more concerned. Wait till Ubisoft gives it a go. Concern may escalate to heart palpations.
Honestly if they were do this as the new version of the Dark Zone in Division that would be amazing.

When they used your name, was that in official promotional materials?
Sammie Kang: It was in their promotional video that was posted on Twitter and they would openly mention that they were fans of PUBG, we wanted to make this battle royale game mode, and that kind of gave the impression that we were officially involved in this.
So they were giving the impression that you guys were on board and were a part of this, and in no way were you.
Sammie Kang: Right, and there were players like, "Oh it's cool, now we get to play PUBG in Fortnite", and there was nothing we could do about it, because it was depicted that we were officially involved.
If they work together, why can Bluehole reap the benefits, and not Epic? Unless they have a contract addressing that
It's so silly. Is every company not allowed to say they were inspired by or love a game by its actual title?This is some crazy talk. Its not like they said "From the makers of PUBG" in any of their promotional material. They basically said they were inspired to add a BR mode to Fortnite is all.
I can only imagine the complete shitshow of a launch a Ubisoft BR game would be at launch. I don't think their engines are quite ready for 100 player matches in a huge map with tracked items.Prepare to be more concerned. Wait till Ubisoft gives it a go. Concern may escalate to heart palpations.

They have their pirate game on the horizon.
Someone find all the times PUBG said they were inspired by that Japanese movie whom's movie title escapes one at this present time.
Guy is reaching for sure.This is some crazy talk. Its not like they said "From the makers of PUBG" in any of their promotional material. They basically said they were inspired to add a BR mode to Fortnite is all.

Talking of which. Rare should add a battleroyale game mode to their upcoming sea of thieves game. A squad based battle Royale with loot items on islands leaving your ship vulnerable to attack when you get them seems like a great idea and a good twist to the ever popular 'last man standing' game mode.
This seems somewhat shady on the side of epic games.
Competition is only good for the gamers, despite where you may 'side'. This will motivate Bluehole to work harder to make a better product. That's a good thing.
That aside, Fortnite's business model is pretty shady, from where I see it. It's an early access game that has full priced copies on store shelves, have we ever seen this before?
Dave Lang called this beef before it happened on his podcast. PUBG is mad they are funding a competitor in Epic because Epic takes big payments from them for the Unreal license. Epic the turns around and uses all the tech and support they gave to PUBG to publish a clone.
Beef seems reasonable to me. No one is gonna change though.
So epic spent money helping PUBG and they're mad that epic is also using it to help themselves?
This doesn't seem like a reasonable beef. It sounds like they don't want competition from epic because it thinks epic shouldn't compete against games using their engine... which is completely absurd. They're also competing against ARK survival of the fittest.
Nobody is worried about Ark SotF, lol

That game started out great but the developers pissed off the playerbase and now it's pretty dead.

PUBG are just under threat of their monopoly being taken away and understandably are worried, especially if it means they cannot do shitty microtransaction practices now because threat of losing players to alternative products.

C'mon guys, let's all go give negative reviews on their Steam page. Yeah, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble.

I think it would be cool too is Ubisoft took their Assassin's Creed multiplayer mode (where there's NPCs all over and you have to figure out who's a real player) and expanded that into a PUBG sized thing where you have a huge chunk of a city to work in.Honestly if they were do this as the new version of the Dark Zone in Division that would be amazing.

How?
You trust an engine developer with your game ideas and in the midst of your success that same engine developer creates a carbon copy before you can even reach all the platforms you're slated to.
It's not illegal but it is a pretty shitty business practice. Not sure I would be able to have a serious business relationship going forward.
