Fortnite’s developer Epic Games is being made to pay more than $72 million total to hundreds of thousands of gamers located in the U.S. who were “tricked” into making unwanted in-game purchases.
The popular online survival game, which sees players fight to be the last one standing, settled with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over allegations it “unlawfully” charging players for “unwanted purchases, let children rack up unauthorized charges with their parents’ permission, and blocked some users who disputed wrongful charges from accessing their purchased content.”
