Courtnite.
Epic is suing another hacker. The developer of Fortnite has a long and storied history of taking prolific Fortnite cheaters to court. People who don’t really get the message and continue to make dozens upon dozens of accounts after getting banned, DMCA’d, threatened with lawsuits, etc.
Stupid people, essentially.
And usually what Epic demands in the lawsuit is a cease and desist and an agreement that the defendant won’t play or cheat, or distribute cheats, or make cheats, or talk about cheats, or advocate cheats, in any of Epic’s games ever again. Or be forced to pay a sum somewhere in the realm of $50k. It’s more of an intimidation tactic than anything.
The latest lawsuit was filed in December in where else but the Central District of California. The defendant is one Sebastian Araujo of Lomita California, who Epic claims has used cheat software in Fortnite Tournaments and claims he has pocketed “thousands of dollars that other competitors had no real chance to win.”
Epic claims that Araujo circumvented bans, used hardware spoofers and fake names, and continued to sidestep Epic’s attempts to ban him from the platform.
The lawsuit demands that Aarujo and literally everyone in his circle including his future bloodline be enjoined forever from cheating in Fortnite. And yes, they include his “heirs” in the lawsuit under this enjoinment. They are also asking for statutory damages, lawyer fees, and anything else the court deems just and proper.
A free dinner at Red Lobster for instance. I downloaded the lawsuit documents and you can read them here.
