I think this argument is silly tbh. Are we going to say no games can have a zombie mode or team deathmatch because games have done it before? Battle royale is basically free for all game mode but with a persistent death mechanic which has been around since the dawn of gaming - the idea that it can be ripped off rather than just iterated on doesn't hold for me

>My point is that Fortnite copies very much from PUBG. I didn't make any arguments about whether that is acceptable or precedented.

Please read what I said and don't put words in my mouth.
