Ubisoft Sues Apple and Google Over Mobile Rainbow Six Siege Clone

[Andrew]

Ubisoft is suing Apple and Google over an alleged mobile Rainbow Six Siege clone released for iOS and Android.

 

The game, created by Alibaba's Ejoy.com, is called Area F2, and you can check out its Google Play Store listing here. A Bloomberg report digs into the details of the lawsuit, in which Ubisoft's suit claims that Area F2 copies "virtually every aspect" of Rainbow Six Siege, noting the operator selection screen and final scoring screen as being particularly derivative.

Well there is no doubt the inspiration was taken from Rainbox Six for sure, but I suppose where do you draw the line ? If it looks similar you can just trample over everyone else ? What if you are a dev and know of a mechanic that works well and you want to replicate that kind of mechanic, not copy just replicate the likes of it. Is that wrong ? I am not so sure there case will hold up.

Yeah, I do disagree with this. Both are generic PvP team shooters.
