For any game, cheats online multiplayer games will always be there and will always interfere with the players as well as game developers. Banning systems are sometimes not enough, especially if the game is a free-to-play like Fortnite: Battle Royale. So Epic Games take one more step to exterminate cheaters in this rising game by bringing the cheaters to lawsuits.
Based on documents from a federal court in North Carolina, two players named Brandon Broom and Charles Vraspir are charged after violating the copyright of Epic Games as well as the terms of service for modifying the in-game code with their cheat program. Because Fortnite: Battle Royale is a free game, one of the defendants is claimed to have been banned 9 times in 9 accounts with different identities before the action is finally handled illegally.
Broom and Vraspir are part of a cheat service provider website that is Addicted Cheat. A cheat program that charges a subscription fee of $ 5 to $ 15 per month can provide location information on enemies, augues, and others in the Fortnite game: Battle Royale. This cheat is made with reverse-engineering where they play with the source code in the game. This violates the rules of the game as well as copyright, and they charge a fee so that people can access their illegal programs that add to the upset Epic Games.
Both defendants often use their cheat program to do "stream-sniping" which is an action to find out the location of the streamers and immediately target the streamer as quickly as possible. When asked what they meant for a stream-snipe that made these streamers difficult to win, they replied "Because it's fun to make emotions at the same time to see a stream of rage while being killed even with complete equipment."
Before opening Addicted Cheat, the two defendants have a lot of experience in hacking in online games and before Fortnite: BR, they have created a cheat program for some other games. The two defendants who are moderators and support staff of the Addicted Cheat are in danger of having to pay $ 150,000 for damage they cause from their fraudulent program.
Epic Games really handle seriously the existence of this cheater. They want honest players to play quietly without interruption from the users of aimbots or any other cheat program. For those who already use cheat services from Addicted Cheat at Fortnite, their money is now wasted because they will not give refund at all.
