Epic Games has filed a lawsuit against Ediz Atas, the creator of cheating software that allows players to see through walls and auto-aim in Fortnite. Alongside Atas, Epic is also targeting five resellers of these cheating tools. The lawsuit claims that this cheat software offers unfair advantages to players, violates the game's end-user license, and ultimately leads to decreased player retention. Additionally, it alleges that Atas attempted to obstruct Epic's anti-cheat efforts by impersonating an Epic employee to reverse DMCA takedown claims on YouTube. The suit emphasizes the harm these cheats cause to the gaming ecosystem.
Epic's lawsuit claims that Atas's cheat software provides an unfair advantage, breaches Fortnite's license agreement, and harms the game's ecosystem, impacting player engagement.
The lawsuit highlights the extent of the issue, noting Epic issued 'tens of thousands' of bans against players using the cheating software since February 2022.
