I really hope their case crashes and burns, otherwise it could have worrying consequences for the industry. If mechanics in games are able to be copyrighted then this could adversely effect the way developers work. Imagine if Wolfenstein tried to sue every FPS that was in development... I'm pretty sure I said that I was surprised wasn't doing anything about Fortnite, but on reflection I was very wrong to suggest they should.
They are suing copycat games on mobile only which have directly ripped it off, look at screenshots and read up on things before the facepalm man. Bluehole worked for 3 years on the game and you think it's ok for literal copycat (your own word) games made simply to capitalize on its success are good for the industry?
Fortnite is a rip off too but it put it's own spin on it, these mobile games were made to look like PUBG on purpose, it's completely different.
One of the clones:
The same Company has another game on mobile called FortCraft. I mean, FFS.
