Krafton Has Filed A Lawsuit Against Copyright Infringement
The Verge shared the charge of copyright infringement. It says that Krafton has sued Garena, the company that made Free Fire and Free Fire Max. The creator of the popular battle royale game PUBG said that Garena copied it. In the case, Krafton also said that Garena has made “hundreds of millions of dollars” from sales of two games and that both Apple and Google have made a lot of money from selling the two Free Fire apps. Both apps can still be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
Krafton says that on December 21, it did things to stop Free Fire and Free Fire Max. First, they asked Garena to “immediately stop its exploitation of Free Fire and Free Fire Max, including by rescinding its apparent permission to Apple and Google.” Garena allegedly refused to do so. Also, the creator of PUBG asked Apple and Google to “stop distributing and exploiting” the two games on their platforms. However, both app stores still have the games mentioned.

Case
It was also said that Garena sold a game in Singapore in 2017 that was a copy of PUBG: Battlegrounds. Krafton said the claims had been settled, but there was no licensing deal between the two game makers.
Sensor Tower told The Verge that players spent $1.1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,153 crores) on Free Fire in 2021. It is a 48 percent increase from the previous year. Even though Krafton made $2.98 billion (about Rs. 22,087 crores) during the same period, it only grew by 7% from the year before. The publication also checked the Appfigures data and said that, even though the revenue numbers were different, the data showed that Free Fire was getting more famous and making more money than PUBG.
