Epic Games Fined More Than $500 Million Over Fortnite's 'Unfair' Microtransaction Practices

Epic Games Fined More Than $500 Million Over Fortnite's 'Unfair' Microtransaction Practices

Epic Games will have to pay $520 million over "design tricks...to dupe millions of players into making unintentional purchases" in Fortnite, the Federal Trade Commission [FTC] announced today.The fine stems from what the FTC calls two separate "record-breaking" settlements. One is a $275 million fine for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection [COPPA] rule, which imposes limitations on websites and online services directed to children under 13-years-old. Epic will also have to pay $245 million in refunds to customers over its "dark patterns."
According to the FTC, Fortnite uses "privacy-invasive default settings" and "deceptive interfaces" that "tricked" players."Protecting the public, and especially children, from online privacy invasions and dark patterns is a top priority for the Commission, and these enforcement actions make clear to businesses that the FTC is cracking down on these unlawful practices," said FTC chair Lina Khan.These "dark patterns" include tricking players into making unintended in-game purchases through a "counterintuitive, inconsistent, and confusing button configuration," including being charged while waking up from sleep mode. The FTC also says that account holders can be charged without authorization, and that children have racked up "hundreds of dollars" in charges before parents were aware of what was happening. On that front, the FTC says that Epic "ignored more than one million user complaints" over wrongful charges while "purposefully" obscuring cancel and refund features.

well you can if your mobile is compatible with it. I play on mobile and works okayish except for lag and delay when playing with a non mobile team. You might not be able to play due to incompatibility of your device

Explaining why you cant play fortnite on iOS and macOS.
Somewhere in Augest (i think the 13th) Apple decided to ban fortnite from the App Store. And for your infomation, the source comes entirely from here. Apple has removed Fortnite from the App Store after Epic Games has added its own payment options. Why did they make their own way to pay? Because, apple takes 30% off on all purchases made thorugh apple. They did not want to have to give 30% off, so they made their own purchase method. Apple got mad and removed it.
