No one likes cheaters in online games, then we all agree. It is all the more satisfactory when a mogler is caught and received her just punishment. In the case of repulsegod, Epic Games now uses violent means to stable an example.
Morgan "Repulsegod" Bramford had probably imagined it differently. In the run-up to the FNCS 2023 Global Championship, he shared his account with his friend and good player "Forbes" to qualify for the Fortnite tournament. This was a clear violation of the Guidelines of Epic Games and finally the unfair method flew open.
The development studio behind Fortnite now draws violent consequences. So it filed a lawsuit against repulsegod and forced him to repay the illegally deserved prize money. But Epic Games does not retain the sum, instead it will be donated charity.
However, the end of the consequences has not yet been achieved. Morgan Bramford was also banished by all Fortnite tournaments, so his professional career has found an abrupt end. In addition, Epic Games forced him to publish a public apology, which he did in the form of an extremely simple video.
In this he admits his misconduct: "Cheating at tournaments ruins the fun for the players who have earned their places in the tournaments and I apologize to the Fortnite community for my actions. I will never cheat again."
Definitely tough measures to which Epic Games picks up here. In a tournament with a price pool of $ 4 million, the developers understandably do not understand fun.
