Now its raking in money hand over first.

Isn't there some kind of issue going on between them and PUBG?

Yeah, PUBG has a weird fascination with making sure everyone believes they invented everything in their game.  They're suing Epic Games (Fortnite publisher) for copyright infringement, claiming that they copied the PUBG concept.  It's a ridiculous argument as there's been many BR games that pre-date PUBG, and even if you want to ignore the games that the PUBG head was involved in prior to PUBG, you still have games like Ark: Survival the Fittest that released before PUBG with the same concept.  I've read some believe their main gripe is that Epic will not provide as much development of the engine that PUBG uses from them, and instead focus on Fortnite.  Also the potential that Epic used information from PUBG to develop Fortnite, which is unlikely considering Fortnite doesn't have the coding issues PUBG has and that it's just not worth the headache that would result from them getting caught to take code that they can easily make themselves.

It's just another stupid lawsuit in a string of stupid lawsuits by PUBG.  They need to quit trying to take down other games and just focus their money and efforts on their own.  If they'd fix some of their glaring issues, they wouldn't have to worry about any other game using the same BR concept.
