Epic Suing Fortnite Tester Who Leaked Chapter 2 Details
What's scarier than Epic Games handing out spooky games for free? How about Epic Games suing you?
That's what's happening to one (we'd assume ex-) tester who's accused of leaking information related to Fortnite: Battle Royale's Chapter 2 content, which went live at the start of the month. Epic alleges that Ronald Sykes broke his non-disclosure agreement by revealing details of the new content, which he played in September, via Twitter.
The lawsuit states that "Epic has sustained and will continue to sustain damages in an amount to be determined." As such, Polygon reports, the company is seeking "injunctive relief and maximum damages for Sykes' breach of contract and 'misappropriation' of trade secrets."
While Epic does seem to sue a lot of people over Fortnite (here, here, and here), I'd actually forgotten that they sued the maker of the "World's Most Powerful" hack for Paragon back in 2016. Just goes to show that no matter how popular a game is, someone, somewhere, will seek to cheat at it.
