The American video game publisher Epic Games will pay 520 million dollars as part of an agreement with the United States Consumer Protection Agency (FTC), which accused it of not having sufficiently protected underage gamers from its featured game, Fortnite, according to a statement on Monday.
Part of the sum, or $275 million, relates to grievances relating to the collection of data relating to underage players as well as their exposure to adults.
The rest, or 245 million, relates to purchases made in the game by underage players, who were not aware of making a payment.
