I hope a nice alternative is being prepared somewhere,
Or should we start getting used to the idea that this platform will have some profit-oriented design changes?
Or should we ignore all the shit and focus on music?
"Epic Games agreed to pay a $275m fine for collecting personal information on Fortnite players under the age of 13 without informing their parents or getting their consent.
It is the biggest penalty ever issued for breaking an FTC rule.
The company is also refunding $245m to customers who fell victim to so-called “dark patterns” and billing practices.
Dark patterns are deceptive online techniques used to nudge users into doing things they did not intend to do.
In this case, “Fortnite’s counterintuitive, inconsistent, and confusing button configuration led players to incur unwanted charges based on the press of a single button,” the FTC said.
Players could, for example, be charged while trying to wake the game from sleep mode, while the game was in a loading screen, or by pressing a nearby button when simply trying to preview an item, it said.
“These tactics led to hundreds of millions of dollars in unauthorized charges for consumers,” the FTC said."
