Call for Action: Did Your Child Spend Money on Fortnite Without You Knowing?
Following a €1.1 million fine by the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) against Epic Games for using misleading timers to pressure children into purchases, the foundation Stichting Massaschade & Consument (SMC) is preparing a collective damage claim. The SMC argues that Epic Games must compensate players who spent money as minors, seeking refunds and additional damages. Dutch residents who played Fortnite before turning 21 are eligible to join this claim. The organization is currently contacting affected individuals to gather stories and potentially conduct interviews.
