The only similarity between the 2 is the survival zone aspect.

Fortnite is 3rd person. Cartoony. Allows minecraft building.

It seems as if Epic took an existing idea and just compounded it and made it more enjoyable and tantalizing to its target audience and hence why is a billion dollar a year game.

No they literally copied and pasted the entirety of PUBG's mechanics.

Also PUBG is third person primarily...

The only time I see PUBG in 3rd person is when vehicles are being used.

I dont see fort building or building destruction.

You just seem like a bitter fan of PUBG, and I personally think both games are bland.

You act like PUBG invented a free for all game mode. That's all "battle royale" is by the way. An ancient game mode that's been around forever.

Aren't they owned by Tencent? Even if they lose it's a drop in the bucket for them. They're the largest video game company on the planet.

Hell looking it up they already own 40% of Epic...

That's not at all what it is.

They took every single gameplay mechanic.

They took the spawning in by parachute, the shrinking map, the looting houses, all of that stuff. It's not just "oh it's another FFA game with a high player count."

Those gameplay mechanics aren't unique to PUBG and it would be hard for them to prove otherwise.

Well fortnite had the resource gathering already. The PVE mode had the flying bus, don't know if you ever parachuted.

Because they took them without actually changing much at all. Just shoehorning in a few of their existing mechanics from a completely unrelated game type.

Because @RoboLaserGandhi is a console gamer who thinks this battle royal thing started when PUBG and Fortnite were released on consoles late last year.

PUBG was itself made to capitalize on the success of H1Z1 which was originally a DayZ clone before adding a battle royal mode that became more popular than the original game. All of these followed BR mods to games like Minecraft and Arma 5+ years ago.

The genre has been popular for a very long time.
