You're saying they are ripping off the game, I'm saying they're not (otherwise Unreal Tournament would be a Quake II rip-off, which it's not). So let's agree to disagree.

I'm not going for another form of a cheap cop out either.

You think it's fine for a AAA studio, bigger than an indie one, with it's own engine, si fine in taking what it can from the indie under it's wing, I don't.

This kind of thing doesn't sit well within the art industry and at times (yes, it does) it doesn't within the games industry (like it or not).

Disagreeing with you is a cheap cop out?  Come on now.

AAA studio or indie makes no difference to me. I disapprove of blatantly copying a game or its assets (like Limbo of the Lost copying Oblivon, or Legend of the Titan being a cheap Chinese rip-off from Overwatch). Fortnite adapting PUBG's game mode is more akin to Crash Team Kart Racing being a nod to Mario Kart to me. Is it original? No. But who cares? If a genre is succesful, other devs will make their own versions of it. Can't see anything wrong with it.
