PANews reported on March 9 that according to Gamespot, the game development giant Epic Games was sued for using deceptive sales strategies in the Fortnite store to manipulate and mislead players (especially minors). The plaintiffs said that Epic Games created a "scarcity illusion" and used the fear of missing out (FOMO) to affect the night. The lawsuit has been submitted to the San Francisco court in the United States. It is reported that Epic Games has denied the relevant allegations, saying that the description in the lawsuit is wrong and distorts the operation of Fortnite.
