Although the matter was resolved, it was yet another example of erratic behavior from the PUBG camp, as seen by its reaction to Battlefield V 's battle royale mode . Unfortunately, this short and sweet Epic Games suit leaves PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as a game with a history among the strangest and most controversial video game lawsui
In addition to its hero-shooter elements, Apex brought a lot of new tricks that were quickly emulated by its competitors, namely Fortnite . If Fortnite has seen fit to take notes, well, it should be clear that Apex is doing it ri
