And I dont know why PUBG is getting upset. You can't claim ownership over a genre of games. Or, at least it hasnt been done yet and they have no precedent in court.
WoW, LoL, HoTS, GW2 would not exist if this were possible to do.
I don't think its the game mode they are upset with. Its the EPIC engine. I could be wrong but I think I read that from an article on this site somewhere.
there are no rewards for winning (at the moment)
there will be micro transactions for cosmetics in the near future. (hopefully not llama rng) you can't pick your skin/looks
If PUBG had a building and PvE mode i would be more interested in getting that game. As it is now its just not for me.
EDIT: also, after trying the BR in Fortnite i have to say that the eye of the storm mechanic makes the game mode even more ridiculous. Why make a big map if you are going to force people to a tiny portion of it? I hope the PvE mode doesnt do that.
