Area F2 might as effectively be referred to as Area 51 now that Ubisoft have sued Apple, Google, and the builders of the cellular game that regarded suspiciously much like Mr. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. Area F2’s developer Ejoy have now posted a press release confirming the game’s closure and it’s been delisted from each the Google Play Store and App Store.
According to a Ejoy’s submit on Facebook, Area F2 is being shut down right this moment. Players are in a position to apply for refunds in the event that they’ve made microtransaction purchases inside the game. As reported by the BBC, Ubisoft consider that, previous to its closure, Area F2 had “been downloaded more than a million times and made ‘tens of thousands of dollars’ on in-game purchases.”
The sudden closure comes after Ubisoft sued Apple, Google, and the game’s developer Ejoy. Area F2 wasn’t simply much like R6, apparently. By Ubisoft’s measure, it was a downright uncanny copycat.
“Virtually every aspect of AF2 is copied from R6S, from the operator selection screen to the final scoring screen, and everything in between,” Ubisoft stated in court docket paperwork obtained by the BBC. “The games are so similar that an ordinary observer viewing and playing both games likely would be unable to differentiate between them.”
Not stunning to see Ubisoft defending R6’s honor what with their continued updates for the FPS. Their new Operation Steel Wave is dropping new operators and a map rework and all the standard jazz this season.
