killamch89 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 This is nothing new to the MMO scene and it is, unfortunately, a very ugly side to the MMO world that cannot be stopped easily. It can only be limited.
DarthHazard Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 It's interesting that they're writing articles about this because it's happened for a long time but I guess Fortnite is popular right now so these news outlets want to get as many views as possible. It's not easy to prevent thing really from Epic's side. I believe account selling is against the terms & conditions of most games anyone so I'm sure eBay or whatever platform they are using to sell these accounts on could help though.
CruiserX Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 These type of money laundering has been around for quite awhile. Even from shooter games like BlackShot. I just cannot fathom why people are so into fortnite and this is happening right now. Just what is it about this dumb rip-off game that's got people so hooked I can never understand.

killamch89 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Well, It's a disgusting practice but it exists in a lot of MMO games I know of and it is very difficult to stop.
skyfire Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Not surprised. Most of the games are used for money laundering and fr communication with the extremists. That is something that is affecting many game developers too. It can be pretty tough either way in such case. I personally don't see this to be changing. New game with same stuff may also keep on getting added.
