Epic forces Fortnite esports cheater to pay back prize money, post apology video

You can have all the anti-cheat software and deterrents in the world, but cheating in multiplayer games will never be totally eradicated. It’s a sad fact of life. From causing chaos in public lobbies, to getting the upper hand in ranked games, it’s a blight on some of the best competitive games around. Some will even look to break the rules at the highest level, attempting to gain unfair advantages during esports tournaments and competitive leagues. To send a message and show it’s not messing around, Epic Games has just paraded a Fortnite Championship Series cheater on its social channel after taking legal action against them, getting them to pay back prize money, and post an apology video.
