Updates players about legal action.
Epic Games is not a stranger to suing people who muck around in Fortnite for their own illegitimate gain. Just recently the company successfully sued a tournament cheater, forcing the player to not only donate the winnings to charity but to post an apology video on YouTube.
This week Epic is turning its sights on one Isaac who the company alleges is stealing login credentials for other Fortnite players and selling them on the black market.
In a lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Illinois, Epic claims;
Strock has sold access to hundreds of other players’ Epic Games accounts, boasting online about thousands of dollars in profits. Strock obtains access to these accounts by using fraudulent tactics, such as impersonating the true account holder to defeat Epic’s account control protections and trick Epic’s player support team.
Epic’s lawsuit is claiming damages for fraud, tortious interference, breach of the EULA and terms of servicce, copyright infringement, violation of Illinois Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and unjust enrichment.
The lawsuit is being led by attorneys at the Perkins Coie law firm, as usual.
