The American publisher of Epic Games video games will pay $520 million as part of a settlement with the US Consumer Protection Agency (FTC), which accused it of failing to sufficiently protect underage players of its flagship game, Fortniteaccording to a statement released on Monday.
Part of the sum, or $ 275 million, relates to grievances relating to the collection of data relating to underage players as well as their exposure to adults. The rest, or 245 million, relates to purchases made in the game by underage players, who were not aware of making a payment.
