PUBG has been actively suing other battle royale type games recently, but today we have found out that the kid gloves came off back in January. The Korean Times is reporting that PUBG developers, a part of Bluehole, has filed a copyright violation against Epic Games looking for an injunction in Korea. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out. It looks as all of this is coming to a head as Epic Games is looking to make a push into the Korean market. Thanks cageymaru.
PUBG is far and away from an original idea in itself as it was based on a Japanese movie entitled Battle Royale.
PUBG has sold over 40 million copies since its release, but Fortnite has been coming on strong in terms of player count, and exposure. Interestingly enough, Fortnite is free to play. Its business model relies solely on selling cosmetic modifications in the game. Fortnite made $223M in March.

Epic Games is currently preparing to make a foray into the Korean market in cooperation with Neowiz Games as the two firms signed an agreement in January to release "Fortnite" in so-called PC rooms here within the second quarter.
