Krafton has recently filed a lawsuit against Garena, Apple, Google, and YouTube, accusing Garena of copyright issues. Krafton is a PuBG developer and has alleged Garena Free Fire of copyright infringement for its battle royale title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Krafton\u2019s complaint report, they allege Garena Free Fire copied several of their game\u2019s features. For the Garena Free Fire Max game, they have claimed Garena has copied several aspects of PUBG. Several of their in-game items, weapons, and maps were allegedly identical. They also alleged that the addition of a river flowing through the map and the different similarities between their coastal villages in both games were also copied from PuBG games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The copyright infringement issued by PuBG is from April 13, 2019. Several attempts at contact were made by the PuBG Company, and they also contacted Apple and Google to stop making the application available in their playstores; however, no one responded to their requests. PuBG developer Krafton has stated that Apple and Google have failed to comply with Free Fire\u2019s request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to PuBG developer Krafton\u2019s claim, Garena has already retrieved $100 million from the game in the first quarter of 2021 and from in-app purchases and different subscription schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late December 2021, Krafton requested Garena revoke the authorization of the game from the Google and Apple appstores and stop the distribution of the game through these appstores. The proposed deadline for completing the said activity was January 5, 2022, for Garena. But they had failed to respond by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube was also requested to stop projecting Garena\u2019s Free Fire videos and all other elements that infringe on the Battlegrounds game\u2019s elements. But, even these videos were not removed from the site at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
