https://cybernews.com/gaming/epic-games-loses-lawsuit-illegal-advertising-kids-court/>In December 2023, Epic Games received multiple fines totaling €1.125 million from the ACM.>According to the Dutch competition regulator, advertising in the game Fortnite directly encouraged children to make purchases and forced them to make decisions under time pressure about unclear and complex offers.>To boost the sales numbers of in-game purchases, the game developer used slogans like “Get it now” or “Grab it.” Additionally, Epic Games displayed timers on the screen, creating a sense of scarcity, as players would otherwise miss out on the offer. However, these timers were false and designed to encourage players to make purchases.>In short, Epic Games will have to pay the fines the ACM imposed on the company. The game developer has informed Dutch news outlet RTL Z that it will comply with the court’s ruling.Why does Epic love to psychologically manipulate children? They also added lootboxes and slot machines for kids in the latest patch.

>>730932048Reminds me of their Apple lawsuit>one of Apple's lawyers suddenly brings up that Epic could sell Fortnite money via their own website and not have to pay the Apple tax, since the Apple tax only applies to in-app purchases>the judge asks Timmy why he didn't just do this>Timmy flat out says they want to encourage kids to impulse buy with their parents credit cards
>>730932109>they only live to siphon money from US companiesThis

>>730932109>epic loses a lawsuit and only creates a better customer experience in the relevant country>steam loses a lawsuit and employs the new policy worldwide as a show of respect to their consumers, one of the exceedingly rare times living in a 'global' 'connected' world isn't a pure negative
>>730933771that whole case was pure proof that customers are treated as cattle or statistics by most businesses above a certain size. as if we needed any.
