Krafton & NetEase in Court Over PUBG Copyright Dispute
4K View2023-05-05
Krafton and NetEase have appeared in court for an ongoing lawsuit in which Krafton claims that two of NetEase's battle royale games, Knives Out and Rules of Survival, infringe on their PUBG copyright. Although the case was originally settled in 2019, Krafton claimed that NetEase violated the terms of the settlement in 2023.
In response, NetEase admitted to the violation but claimed that it was unintentional and had already been voluntarily rectified. The ongoing legal action centers around a specific term in the agreement and whether it was applied in the correct context.
The dispute highlights the challenge of protecting intellectual property in the battle royale genre, which has exploded in popularity, particularly on mobile. PUBG Mobile remains a major player, but the game has lagged behind rivals such as Fortnite on consoles, which could explain why Krafton is eager to take action against similar titles.
NetEase has a history of litigation and public disputes, including a breakup with former partner Activision Blizzard and a previous erroneous report that they had filed a lawsuit against them. The outcome of this latest disagreement in court is yet to be seen.

"Krafton and NetEase Reach Settlement in PUBG Mobile Copyright Dispute"
In a landmark decision, the San Mateo Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of Krafton in the much-debated copyright dispute with NetEase Games. The five-year-long legal saga, stemming from Krafton's allegations that NetEase copied its ideas for the popular battle royale genre, has finally reached a resolution.

The court found that NetEase breached their contract by failing to adhere to settlement terms, including neglecting to change certain game elements as agreed upon. Despite this victory for Krafton, the court did not fully endorse the requested $65 million in damages. Nevertheless, an undisclosed sum in liquidated damages was awarded to Krafton, underscoring the court's acknowledgment of the breach.

I hate netease!!!
Netease always makes some really good projects for them only to be abandoned after the trailer or to make an beta on Chinese and then to never update it again.
Nobody wants another town building game or PUBG ripoff.
Code T ,eternal frontier,fading city and more projects just get abandoned out of nothing.
Happily this didn't happen for project bloodstrike.The last games i enjoyed were:
Lost light which had an really good atmosphere and music and everything.I love it absolutely.But i can't even play a second because either it's pay to win or i get wall banged everytime i spawn.
