Fortnite Refunds: FTC Settlement Brings $245M Back to Players

Epic Games, the developer of the popular game Fortnite, has agreed to pay millions in refunds to players following a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This comes after allegations that the company used deceptive billing practices and unfair design choices that led users, especially younger players, to make unintended in-game purchases. The settlement includes a $245 million refund pool for affected players, marking one of the largest actions taken by the FTC in the gaming industry.
