Organization Claims 'Hundreds of Millions' from Fortnite Maker for Pressuring Children into Purchases
A claim organization is seeking hundreds of millions of euros from Epic Games for pressuring children into in-game purchases, following an earlier fine by the Dutch Consumer Authority. The Stichting Massaschade & Consument argues that misleading timers and texts constituted aggressive practices, entitling minors who played before age 21 to refunds and compensation. Epic Games states it has removed such timers and implemented parental controls, while the organization prepares legal action if a settlement is not reached.
