PUBG Mobile was accused of stealing skin ideas from an indie game developer

PUBG Although it has passed its golden age, it still maintains a large community of players thanks to constantly releasing updates with lots of new content. One of the most recent updates is an 8×8 map called Taego, which comes with unique gameplay features. Before PUBG Mobile also announced new skins – Hypnospace DivaHowever, this update does not seem to be going smoothly when the developer of the indie game “Hypnospace Outlaw” is accusing PUBG of stealing the idea of ​​both his name and color scheme.

​

Jay Tholen, the father of indie games Hypnospace Outlaw recently posted an article on Twitter, accusing the PUBG development team and then Tencent (the publisher of PUBG Mobile) for plagiarizing his game name for the new skin. Originally just the similar name, it is impossible to conclude that this is a plagiarism act, but “Hypnospace” is not a common word for orange. In fact, if you search for this word on Google, most of the results are related to Hypnospace Outlaw. Moreover, not only the name, the purple, yellow, blue color scheme of the Hypnospace Diva skin clearly has many similarities with the main color of Hypnospace Outlaw.

Jay Tholen’s accusation is currently receiving much support from netizens, with some even linking to Hypnospace Outlaw’s website under PUBG Mobile’s Twitter post, urging people to buy the game instead. spend money on PUBG.

Tholen said he didn’t want to make a big deal of it, but he didn’t like his game’s name to be related to gambling of chance (PUBG offers loot boxes, which many consider a form of gambling, extorting money from players), as well as not wanting people to misunderstand and mistakenly think that the skin is an official collaborative event.

However, because copyright laws in China are not as strict as in Western countries, Tencent will most likely ignore any related complaints directly. Meaning, the Hypnospace Diva skin will still appear in the normal game. Jay Tholen’s denunciation probably won’t bring any results, but at least, many people know that the Hypnospace Diva skin does not have any relationship with Hypnospace Outlaw.
