Both defendants could receive demands for up to $150,000 each, on the grounds of copyright infringement. Their involvement with the cheating website elevates the lawsuit against them as the platform asks for a monthly subscription of $5 to $15. Vraspir is allegedly a "support/help person" while Broom is a "moderator and member of the support staff" for Addicted Cheats.

Even worse, he invited other gamers to cheat and taught them how to do so. Doing so is a violation of the End User License Agreement for Fortnite and the Copyright Act.Īgainst Vraspir, the lawsuit states that he has been banned from Fortnite for cheating, but he has defied it by creating other accounts using fake names.


In the lawsuit, Epic Games claims that the cheating engines created by Addicted Cheats are only possible if they altered the source code of Fortnite.
