Krafton, the company behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and PUBG: Mobile, has filed a lawsuit against developer Garena, alongside Apple and Google, seeking damages for what it calls “rampant, wilful copyright infringement” by a number of games available on the iOS and Android app stores it considers to be PUBG clones.
Specifically, Krafton (thanks TechCrunch) is targeting the continued availability of Garena’s Free Fire games – which it calls “thinly veiled unauthorised versions of Battlegrounds” – with the original Free Fire having already been the recipient of a legal challenge by the PUBG developer.
