Epic Games is suing a 14 year old for making a cheat tutorial and his brilliant mother is PISSED

[TooGoodToCheck_]

I’m not even willing to weigh in on most of the arguments his mother presented, but this:

@doctorow

she says that it’s impossible that a cheat program deprived the company of income from its free-to-play game, because the game was free-to-play.

Is transparently bullshit.

There is a danger that the facts of this case (multiple attempts to warn and ban him that he’s circumvented, the kid persisting in malicious behaviour) will make the courts favour Epic and then that will make an overreaching precedent.

I agree. The gaming community does too. I bet the kids legal team is shaking their heads that he was allowed to make youtube videos admitting to many of the points of the case, after the case was filed. who does that? only politicians get away with that kind of crap kid, you aren’t helping your case nor others that follow.
