The publisher of the game, Alibaba Ejoy, is located in China, which complicates the task of copyright protection. Did you know there is a lot of junk on psn and eshop store as well. The title mobile apps developed by Ejoy and Qookka Games of Alibaba, according to Ubisoft is “an obvious scopiazzatura” of the popular Rainbow Six Siege, from which it borrows every aspect of it: “on the selection screen of the operator until the final score and all the rest.”. JavaScript is disabled. Apple and Google can make a decision regarding any app in their app stores without a judgment by the court. I think Ubisoft has grounds to sue, but I expect nothing to come out of suing Apple and Google. Ubi has every right to sue over copyright. Did you even read? Area F2 now only supports iPhone 6s and above. This is an interesting approach, going after the distributor of content. And a month before that, Apple released another commissioned report saying that 80% of the commercial activity that occurs on Apple’s mobile devices is not subject to any Apple payments, royalties, or commissions. That's oranges and oranges. I don't see any other reason why they should sue Apple and Google instead. In Area F2, the first CQB (Close-Quarters Battle) mobile FPS, players fight over ultra-realistic environments as attacker and defender, playing as one of a wide selection of agents, each with their own special ability. OP should add the quote where it says Apple/Google refuse to take the game down in that case. Wow yeah that’s a pretty shameless ripoff alright. They can do whatever in China but globally it should not be allowed. You can follow him on twitter @Donimals_, Donovan Erskine posted a new article, Ubisoft sues Apple & Google over released Rainbow Six: Siege mobile clone. Ubisoft has apparently filed a lawsuit against Apple and Google for hosting a game deemed to be a "rip off" of Rainbow Six: Siege. Gusty move given their past association with Gameloft. Even if they are technically legal. The amount of mobile pokemon clones and clones of whatever the latest gaming fad is are absurd. Ubisoft is sueing Apple and Google for Area F2, what looks to be a mobile clone of Rainbow Six Siege down to the blueprints. Again you are wrong when it comes to a music copyright. I dare suspect what Chinese still use their products (discreetly or otherwise) already have more motivation to do so than a spat with a local amazon can seriously affect. They are all similar... Apple is NOT required by law to go through every app and DECIDE whether its too close to another app. Ubisoft isn’t happy about Area F2, a free-to-play shooter on the Google Play and Apple App Store that appears to be a clone of their successful game, Rainbow Six Siege. Ubisoft’s lawsuit goes into further detail, claiming that the entire Area F2 experience has been directly lifted from Rainbow Six: Siege. Shouldn't Ubisoft go after the developer of the game? Yeah considering Gameloft’s catalog this seems really ironic, I played a few match of it on iPhone 11 and iPad but with touch controls is not very fun to play, but yes it is pretty much Siege, and after seeing how it actually works i wonder why don't Ubisoft make an official Siege mobile with gamepad support. This is big news. There are now plenty of other options in that space, but I'm uncertain how far a game has to jump from a competitor to be considered distinct and not derivative. Futaba do be developing rip-off games on the app store doe . I saw this on the Google Play store last week and was amused by how similar to Siege it was. Tencent Online Game Revenue Climbs 31%; Unreal Engine Royalty-Free up to USD$1m. Ubisoft brings in court with Google and Apple on their store, there... Huami has the mask that self-disinfects and works with Face ID, App immune: the many (too many?) If they didn’t copy actual art, code, or IPs, they have no case. They do it all the time. In … I forecast and analyze trends affecting the mobile ecosystem. Like, that is. If Apple is found to legally not be able to charge the kind of App Store fees they do, Google could be next. I've been a journalist, analyst, and corporate executive, and have chronicled the rise of the mobile economy. Recreating something from the ground up without reusing copyrighted names and all is something that has been going on for a very long time. I play when I was at school on a luanch break or when not at the house. Yes they do because they have not adhered to APPLES rules on Apps. TheGamingEconomy.
