They’ve been doing the same thing with EA’s FIFA games for a decade, and EA doesn’t care either (hell, they probably love it, it’s tens of millions of dollars a year). The FIFA games have $99.99 'micro’transactions to buy FIFA Coins which you can use to build your FIFA Ultimate Team. It’s all very cynical and nasty even without the fraud.
So hacker groups, who are often associated with organized crime (or governments, which are the ultimate organized crime), will use your credit card to buy FIFA Coins then resell them. At a big discount, but it’s free money for them. And then when Fortnite turned into a huge fad they just set up shop there too. They were ready for it.
