The outfit wants NetEase to not only stop selling both Knives Out and Rules of Survival, but to also "cease" development on both games as well. The lawsuit kicked into high gear after PUBG Corporation reached out to Apple and Google to have Knives Out removed from the store pages for copyright infringement, but the game was not removed from the digital storefronts.įailing that option, PUBG Corporation decided to move forward with the lawsuit. The lawsuit also points to confusion among gamers calling Knives Out "PUBG" in some video content descriptions. Within the lawsuit, PUBG pulls up an image from the game Knives Out that literally uses the "Chicken Dinner" slogan as a bit of promotional material for the Battle Royale game.
One of the more conspicuous charges was the use of the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" phrase, which is a staple in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds universe due to a collaborative cross-branded deal with KFC. There are also claims that the weapons, clothes, vehicles and constantly shrinking play-area were also copied from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. There's a 155-page legal complaint that states that a variety of elements from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds were copied and reused without permission in both Rules of Survival and Knives Out.
