In the recent news, Epic Games took a Fortnite cheater to the court in Australia due to a range of unethical activities. According to documents obtained by GameSpot, “The Federal Court of Australia determined Brandon Despotakis–better known online as BlazeFN–violated the Fortnite end user license agreement (EULA) and terms of service, infringed on Epic’s copyright, and unlawfully sold in-game accounts and cheats to other players.” The ruling comes a year after the proceedings began in April 2021.
The services provided by the cheater was not just a couple software but also some compromised accounts. The total number or amount of the services sold until this day is unknown. The person in question, Brandon Despotakis a.k.a. BlazeFN, admitted his wrongdoings and apologized publicly.
Good news is that as the part of the finalized settlement, Despotakis agreed to pay an amount to Epic Games for the damage caused, and the paid sum will be donated to Child’s Play, a charity which is dedicated to improving the lives of children and teens in children’s hospitals around the world. At least a happy ending.
