Another day, another lifetime ban in Fortnite. Epic Games has been very strict with players who break rules, and many of them have been taken to court. Such an instance occurred recently, as the game creator went after an account seller. This player received a lifetime ban from Fortnite and was also forced to apologize and pay a settlement.

As many Fortnite players are aware, trading accounts is against the rules. Not only does this behavior entice sellers to hack into other players’ accounts, but it also promotes scams. Due to this, it is no surprise that Epic has gone after account sellers.

Fortnite serves another lifetime ban and makes the player pay a settlement

It is no secret that Fortnite has a lucrative black market. After all, some of the rarest Fortnite skins haven’t been released for more than seven years, and it’s unclear if they will ever return. As a result, many players resort to buying accounts with numerous cosmetics.

Both buying and selling accounts are against the game’s terms of service, which is why Epic Games has gone after several account sellers. In the most recent instance, the company took legal action against a player who was selling accounts. The player apologized on X, revealing more details about the case.

At the moment, it’s unknown how much the account seller will pay. However, considering that some Fortnite accounts are worth thousands of dollars, the amount may not be insignificant.
