Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, is facing a lawsuit from parents who allege deceptive practices related to the game's item shop. The lawsuit claims that the timers indicating the availability of Fortnite cosmetics are inaccurate and manipulative, creating a sense of urgency that misleads players. Specifically, the parents argue that items would remain available or even be discounted long after the in-game timers suggested they would disappear or increase in price. This is not the first legal challenge for Epic Games regarding Fortnite, as the company is also pursuing legal action against a player for theft and resale of accounts.
