Ubisoft sues Apple and Google for selling ‘near carbon copy’ of its video game


Team Udayavani, May 17, 2020, 9:35 AM IST

Ubisoft filed a complaint in federal court in Los Angeles, claiming that the game “Area F2,” developed by Qookka Games, is a “near carbon copy” of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege.

Rainbow Six: Siege has 55 million registered players around the world and is played by more than 3 million people every day.

Ubisoft said in their complaint that R6 Siege is one of their most valuable intellectual properties and that the developers are banking its popularity to gain success. It further adds that most of the aspects of the game are copied, ranging from the operator selection screen to the final scoring screen, and everything in-between.

Ubisoft said that it has notified Apple and Google that Area F2 is infringing its copyrights, but both companies have refused to remove the game from the Google Play and Apple App stores.
