The FTC stated that Fortnite's confusing button configuration resulted in players unintentionally making purchases, underlining the need for clearer design in video games.
Epic Games is required to pay approximately $72 million in refunds, where the average player will receive a little over $100 based on their claims.
Refunds are available for players who played Fortnite before September 2022, as the first round of payments addressed only a portion of the total settlement.
The addition of features like 'hold-to-purchase' and a 24-hour cancellation window demonstrate how legal pressure has prompted changes in in-game purchasing mechanisms.
