Ubisoft is suing Apple and Google for selling a Chinese game that allegedly rips off the French giant’s blockbuster title Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege.
(Abacus is a unit of the South China Morning Post, which is owned by Alibaba.)

In a statement to Abacus, a representative from Ubisoft said, “Our teams have poured years of talent, creativity and resources into making Rainbow Six: Siege the success that it is today. While we are not able to comment on pending litigation, we can confirm that Ubisoft is committed to protecting its intellectual property.”
Ejoy.com, Apple and Google could not be reached for comment.
Even though Tencent owns a stake in Ubisoft, Rainbow Six: Siege isn’t officially available in China at the moment. This doesn’t mean Chinese players can’t access the game, though: Many still play the game through the international game store Steam, which operates in a kind of legal gray area in the country by allowing gamers to play some titles that haven’t been approved by Chinese authorities.
