Epic Games fined a famous data miner for a large amount
The Epic Games company seriously approached the issue of the fight against amateurs to clean the game files, and then merge some unannounced information into the network. And the promised punishment for such matters did not take long to wait. Lucas7Yoshi, a popular dataminer, has published very unpleasant news about what measures the company has taken against it. Lucas7Yoshi - is a popular datainer that constantly merges information about Fortnite updates (skins, weapons, upcoming event) into the network. Epic Games did not resort to the help of lawyers and decided in its own way to punish the data mineer. The company simply charged a fine of more than 2 billion V-bucks to Lucas7Yoshi's account, which means that he will no longer be able to purchase anything in the game until he has completely paid off the debt.
If we consider the size of the fine in real money, the gamer will have to pay Epic Games an amount of about $17,000. Thus, the company decided to block access to the content and deprive the data mineer of a kind of privilege to merge information into the network. It is not clear how Lucas7Yoshi is going to pay with Epic Games, but we can say that the company has deprived itself of the opportunity to get money from it directly.
