FTC fines Epic Games $245M for deceptive Fortnite purchases.

The FTC has finalized a $245 million settlement with Epic Games over its handling of in-app purchases in Fortnite, which led to players making unwanted purchases. The settlement will go towards refunding customers and Epic will be required to discontinue its use of "digital design tricks" and obtain affirmative consent for digital purchases. The FTC also criticized Epic for allowing underage players to make unauthorized purchases without parental consent. This settlement follows another $275 million in fines proposed by the FTC in December over Epic's handling of accounts for players under 13.
