In case you didn’t know, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) made a big deal with Epic Games, the folks behind Fortnite. They say Epic Games tricked young players into spending lots of money. The deal is worth $245 million to settle these claims.
Who Is Eligible For The Fortnite FTC Refund Settlement
The FTC’s deal is good news for folks who got charged for stuff they didn’t want in Fortnite from January 2017 to September 2022. It’s also for parents whose kids made sneaky credit card charges through Epic Games from January 2017 to November 2018. And if your account got locked because you complained about unfair charges between January 2017 and September 2022, this is for you too.
The FTC says Epic Games used tricky tactics to charge people for things they didn’t ask for. They even let kids make big purchases on credit cards, and when people said it wasn’t fair, they locked their accounts.
How Much Is The Settlement
Epic Games is paying over a whopping half a billion dollars to settle things with the FTC. They’re setting aside $245 million to give back to consumers who got caught up in Fortnite spending. On top of that, they’ll be paying $275 million in penalties to the FTC.
Now, here’s the part that matters to you: If you’ve spent money in Fortnite and want a refund, you can ask for one. But they haven’t said how much you might get back, because it depends on how many people ask for refunds and how much they claim.
