I did, that’s why I put the twitter storm comment first. Guess I should have said gaming article. I’ll change that.
But is it really fair to me to have to change my template name just because they release a title with the “Battle Royale” term? What if other people wanted to make Battle Royale type gameplay for the marketplace? Now they are no longer allowed to use that term just because of Fortnite? Also, as previously stated, the game’s name is “Fortnite”, and is stated like that on the review checklist, not “Fortnite: Battle Royale”.
When you say Battle Royale in terms of video games (not movies or TV production like you mentioned) nowadays, you immediately think of PUBG, H1Z1, ARMA. And now you can add Fortnite to the list. You know that the term “Battle Royale” is a game mode, not the name of the actual game itself. So if Epic really did copyright “Battle Royale”, I’m fine with changing my title, but I’m not going to bend out of my way because the term “Battle Royale” is so widely used nowadays and as soon as you read it, you should know what my project is about.
