Fortnite maker Epic Games may have won its recent court battle against Apple, but it settled with the FTC after it claimed Epic had been "tricking users", and now the federal organization is refunding $126 million to players. Epic was previously ordered to give $245 million in total, so if you live in the US you still have a couple of weeks to get in on the action.

Also represented are people who had their accounts locked after challenging purchases they didn't want.
