Well fortnite's inception itself was because of a company chasing a trend. And I'm not talking BR. The PvE mode was chasing the zombie survival trend. The BR was chasing the BR trend set up by Pubg. And well, now this. What did you expect
I'm not opposed to companies taking ideas from other games, and then improving on them. Depending on how this game turns out that may, or may not, be the case. The originality issue is not much of a problem for me. My driving consideration is quality.
It's inevitable that a big company will create a game based on an extremely popular genre. It happens every time, but I guess indie studios don't realize that. Imposters does bare extreme similarity to Among Us, but it's obviously legally distinct. I can't even be angry, because companies have massive incentive to pursue success, and Among Us did have a few years of wild success. I also wouldn't want Among Us to be able to have such a nebulous copyright that Epic would be prevented from making Imposters either. That would be certain death for video games, in general. Basically, this is a sad fact of life, but it needs to be allowed to happen. Of course, I won't be playing Imposters. It's just not my type of game.
Honestly, that's cringe AF! No cap. Blatantly and shamelessly chasing a trend. Pathetic
intereting just a month or two ago among us was free giveaway on epic game store ghen this game mode comes out for fortnite all of a sudden
I don't have a problem with among us getting some competition, but a multi-billion dollar company is stealing the idea of a small indie dev. That's messed up, honestly. And they did the same to PUBG. Disgusting
I dont even play pubG and I know it's not pronounced the way Ewan said it and I instantly lost interest in the rest of the video rip
Even though it is frowned upon, It is not a crime to copy other games ideas. Which is why Fortnite and other games take gameplay ideas from each other all the time. The crime happens when Fortnite uses the Among Us "sounds" or "Character Sprites" without their permission. They know how far they can go when it comes to copy pasta..
Social Media have been copy pasting each other for years. FB added stories, Twitter added a clubhouse like feature.
Because Fortnite has the uniqueness of not being limited to one genre, They can copy or invent from a wide range of genres/games..
Fortnite started off inspired by pubg and has constantly been stealing other people's dance moves, ideas, products, putting it into their own game and acting like their geniuses for doing it. The best comparison I can give is china's industrial espionage.
People really dont understand the grimey ass nature of someone taking a game that you usually have to pay for to play, ripping its mechanics and entire premise, and then putting in a free to play game that already make millions of not billions of dollars that already has a player base and following without making sure they at least pass the credibility back. They didnt need it but they did it cuz I guarentee you people will tell themselve why pay for among us when I can just play this for free….. That's the fucked up part. Especially as a game that has as much backing as it does doing that to an indie dev. It's like Walmart shutting down a mom and pop store by lowering their prices
Stole from the small PUBG dev. Now stole from the small among us dev. Pathetic
NOTHING about Among Us is original…and nothing about this looks like among us any more than any of the other TTT rip offs. And that map layout is visibly NOT the same layout!
To be clear I like among us, I haven't been bothered with fortnite for years. I most dislike agenda in journalism where you are told to reach a conclusion the journalist has reached instead of your own objective interpretation of the information.
I feel like I've contracted cancer just from reading Fortnite and Among Us in the same video title
Oh give me a break, among us wasn't the first game to do it as you said.
Epic is just everyone's Thomas Edison, stealing the ideas from people who created them to make money
Definitely illegal use of others rights and hard work
Every battle royle should sue each other
All they had to do was give up a few million to earn billions in the years to come. They lost a lot of potential respect they could’ve had and free advertisement
They certainly have the teen and pre-teen fomo market locked down. And intellectual theft
For PUBG controversy,
It's kinda dumb for pubg to think that they own the genre battle royale
At least fortnite had differences
Dude on the right blazed AF
Idk why epic keep on doing this to themselves, things like this is what ruins the game's reputation
First they take down a great moba in Paragon to build Fortnite and now they are trying to capitalise on Among Us's success. Epic have gone to shite.
Man im glad i uninstalled fortnite and downloaded splitgate
Nothing is original nowadays, the gaming genre of Murder Mystery doesn’t belong to anyone. That’s like saying no one else can make a survival game because Minecraft already did it, or no one else can do a Battle Royale game because Fortnite already did it
Next they are going to make a game mode based on catching tiny things in balls
I wish everyone would just curb their consumer bias ffs 🙄
Yeah, Epic stole the idea. So what? It happens all the time. How many games have ripped off the Battle Pass concept? How many games have implemented a Battle Royale mode since Fortnite became popular?
To become a successful business, you find out what is selling, and you sell that. It's really that simple.
Sucks for the small companies, yeah, but them's the breaks, kiddo.
Pubguh? Can you not say g?
Fortnite is trying to be every game out there and has been slowly destroying itself from the inside out.
Epic is trying REAL hard to keep Fortnite relevant…what fucking average Fortnite player listens to Arianna Grande?
Sorry is this the same epic that released a very prepared video about how they were the little guys in a fight against Apple?
Fadnite. It's every passing fad that Lego hasn't snatched up
Controversy? 🤔
Your podcast style is getting out of hand, this video could easily lasted 4 minutes, you’re just repeating the same information over and over.
Well if people keep rewarding them for doing it, they'll sadly keep doing it. Customers are the only way to stop situations like this from happening.
Kinda sus
Petition to delete fortnite
isn't this like the 2/md/3rd among us coppy in fortnite?
fortnite copies so many games, why is anyone surprised?
My ten year old routinely asks for money for Among US and I'd give in maybe 10% of her requests. As of today she'll get to spend a lot more money in the game.
of course epic wouldn't collab, why bother when they can just steal ideas outright and make tons of money solely for themselves?
This comments gets me MAD beacuse of how wrong ther are
Stealing tick-tock dances?? Come on man they don’t owe them idiots anything. It’s a dance & dances are fair game/up for grabs. Deal with it 🤷♂️
No one I know still plays fortnite anyway.
