Epic Games will pay $520m to settle claims it violated laws and also tricked users into making purchases.
The company behind popular video game Fortnite has agreed to pay $520m to settle claims from US regulators that it violated child privacy laws and tricked users into making purchases.
The complaint cited tactics like a button design that could trigger purchases while the game was loading.It said the practices were "not how Fortnite operates". "No developer creates a game with the intention of ending up here," the company said. "The laws have not changed, but their application has evolved and long-standing industry practices are no longer enough."
"We accepted this agreement because we want Epic to be at the forefront of consumer protection and provide the best experience for our players," it added.
