Well, let's count!
There are apparently two free-to-play Warzone games in the market right now and both of them were released around the same time.
Warlight/Warzone was released way earlier. Count: 1
The first is obviously the battle royale phenomenon by publisher Activision. The second though is web-based incremental strategy board game “themed around conquering the world.”
If they're talking about the order of release, then this is obviously wrong. Count: 1.5
The said web-based game is called Warzone Idle and was released by publisher Hasbro in 2020.
Not going to explain that one... Count: 2.5
Anyways, the article says the following:
"According to a complaint filed by Activision in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, the web-based Warzone.com game has threatened the publisher to seek “massive damages” for trademark infringement in addition to restricting the publisher from using the Warzone name or using trademarks in relation to the name.
Activision has hence sued the maker of the incremental strategy board game and wants the Los Angeles federal court to declare Call of Duty: Warzone has an independent intellectual property and which does not infringe any trademarks."
Does this mean Fizzer has threatened Activision for using his game-name? That would be extremely interesting.
