The settlement with Fortnite developer Epic, which amounts to $245 million, was announced in March as part of a larger $520 million settlement. This refund is being offered in response to the FTC's accusation that "Epic Games employed various tactics to encourage consumers of all ages to make unintentional in-game purchases."
