Vanligtvis brukar man ju bli bannad, om man fuskar. Ibland på livstid. Studion som gjort sig kända för att blanda bandanas med vilt vrålande underjordmonster, dieseldrivna motorsågsbajonetter och tonvis med sotsvart blodgegga - går dock ett steg längre. Gears of War-studion Epic Games har nu beslutat sig för att stämma två stycken (exeptionellt smutsiga) fuskare som tydligen varit inne och pillat i källkoden för spelet. I ett blogginlägg på den egna siten meddelar de att de inte har någon som helst tanke på att dalta med dessa über-fuskare och att de nu kommer att dras inför rätta eftersom de brutit mot upphovsrättslagen vid upprepade tillfällen.

"Let's be straight for a second, nobody likes playing with cheaters. Not you, not me. Nobody. We play PvP games like Fortnite Battle Royale for their competitive integrity. That feeling of outshooting somebody in an intense standoff and snagging that Victory Royale! And then there are cheaters, the 360-spin instant headshot, we all know so well.
But what is Epic doing about it? To start, addressing cheaters in Fortnite is the highest priority across Epic Games. We are constantly working against both the cheaters themselves and the cheat providers. And it's ongoing, we're exploring every measure to ensure these cheaters are removed and stay removed from Fortnite Battle Royale and the Epic ecosystem. We don't want to give too many clues about what we're doing, but we are rolling out tools and will continue to do so. Thousands have been banned and we have no plans to stop!"

"Game developer and publisher Epic is taking 'Fortnite' cheating very seriously. After banning thousands of accounts, the company has now filed lawsuits against two prolific cheaters of the popular Battle Royale game." Länk
