Epic Wins Legal Judgment Against Fortnite Cheater

Fortnite publisher Epic Games scores another victory in court as a cheater is ordered to pay a hefty fine

This outcome shouldn't be too surprising, as Epic has aggressively gone after cheaters as well unscrupulous players who sell cheating programs. In 2022, Epic won a sizable amount from an Australian Fortnite cheat maker and donated the settlement to Child's Play. Earlier this year, Epic took action against pro Fortnite player Morgan Bamford aka RepulseGod and banned them from ever taking part in the game's organized tournaments again. Bamford subsequently apologized and returned the prize money to Epic, which once again donated the total to Child's Play.

Cheaters aren't the only ones who have to fear Epic's legal reprisals. The publisher sued a game tester in 2018 for leaking Battle Royale Season 4 details. Even streamers who touted Fortnite cheats on their live-streams haven't been immune from Epic's wrath. Earlier this month, Epic took a cheat maker and several associates who distributed the software to court in a new lawsuit. The outcome of that case is yet to be decided.
