Epic Games to Refund Parents for Unapproved Fortnite Purchases
Epic Games is preparing to refund parents whose children made unapproved purchases on Fortnite. This initiative is part of a larger settlement agreement totaling $520 million that addresses privacy violations and deceptive payment practices associated with the popular game.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is notifying over 37 million individuals about their eligibility for refunds. Parents are encouraged to check their emails for information regarding the refund process and how to claim any funds owed.
The settlement stems from complaints regarding Epic Games' practices that allowed children to make purchases without parental consent. This has raised significant concerns about consumer protection and the need for clearer payment processes in online gaming.
In addition to refunds, the settlement also addresses broader privacy violations, ensuring that Epic Games implements better practices to protect user data and provide clearer information about in-game purchases. Parents who believe they may be eligible for a refund should keep an eye on their email for notifications from the FTC. It’s important to follow the instructions provided to ensure that any unapproved purchases are addressed appropriately.
This settlement represents a significant step in holding gaming companies accountable for their payment practices and protecting consumers, particularly minors. Epic Games' commitment to refunding parents highlights the importance of transparency and responsibility in the gaming industry.
