It’s also been claimed that ROS’ look, feel and audiovisual style "closely mimics" PUBG’s.
Specifically the lawsuit notes how YouTube videos have likened ROS to its own battle royale title, as well as various websites referring to the titles as “clones” and “knock-offs”. The developer claims NetEase intended to “create consumer confusion as to the source of Rules of Survival”, such as that it had been developed by PUBG Corp. PUBG Corp claims to have previously submitted a complaint to Apple on January 24th 2018 about NetEase’s games, but following a denial of the copyright infringement allegations and refusal to remove ROS and Knives Out, the South Korean developer has now taken legal action.
This is notable given PUBG Corp is based in South Korea and NetEase in China.
