Yep, they can't afford it, so they are scraping the bottom of the barrel giving away brony games and basically games they can pay a pittance for.
The problem with Epic as its been reported on is that its easy to get users to join your site when your willing to lose billions of dollars, the problem is getting them to be paying customers which they have completely failed at
https://www.vgchartz.com/article/452389/epic-games-store-customers-spent-on-average-just-4-in-2021/
The average user spending on Epic is $4.33 or in otherwords Epic made about $.52 per user. Suffice to say that isn't very good...
I won't lose any sleep over them or any of the other big boys. Epic has cost me as a father way to much money over the years buying these skins for the kids and myself.
But what get's me, it's the same with many others in the industry is that their limit skins sells for a limited time frame (say 24 hours or so) and men, women and children are like going crazy to purchase said skin before it desappers, quoting "it will never return to the shop agian, must buy now" blah blah... this is how these bad practices in the gaming industry trap people and get them to part waves with their hard earn cash.
I have partaken in this myself, be it on fortnite, steam, world of tanks and many others.
I suppose the more intriguing question is: Who suffers more if they never go into the black? The company or its investors?
A company can file for Chapter 11, but investors are out the money. But that's getting ahead of ourselves.
They can indefinitely support the losses with other financial streams, but eventually if there isn't a path to profitability they will have to cut their losses. Only time will tell

So it's two separate fines totalling up to $520.
It's also partly because a nephew had stolen/borrowed the credit card off his Grandma and kept buying Fortnite stuff with it, then lying saying oops I didn't mean to each time. She had originally agreed to give him the credit card for a $10 Battle Pass. Then he wanted skins and other things too. Parents attempting to remove the card, but the nephew kept adding it back to charge more stuff. He would instantly say sorry right after doing it multiple times. Oops, oops, oops, oops. Stuff like that.

ps for parents: A Fortnite $10 Battle Pass can get you up to 1500 v-Bucks (virtual currency) via playing, in which you only need 950 v-Bucks for the next Battle Pass to get for free as well as a few freebee skins/dances, rather than having an ongoing seasonal payment subscription. Fortnite also offers you parental control to pin code lock any purchases made and monitor your child's play time upon the game. It's got all the features for you to be a good parent, yet most just don't use them.
Epic is even part of SuperAwesome KWS (Kids Web Services):

I personally believe it to be a stupid fine, squarely to be blamed upon complaining parents who want to use it as a babysitter, rather than parent the child themselves.
However, perhaps you should add up how many fines Facebook has paid out. I'll give you a clue it's around the $6 billion mark...
For Facebook fines in 2019:
January - donation to a scam ad prevention charity in order to have a lawsuit dropped = $3,900,000
March - settlement paid after multiple lawsuits alleged discrimination in advertising = $5,000,000
April - fine issued by a court in Russia for storing Russian user data on servers outside the country = $47
May - fine issued by Turkey's data protection authority = $ 270,000
June - fine imposed by Italy's data protection watchdog = $1,100,000
July - fine for allegedly underreporting the number of illegal hate speech complaints on Facebook, issued by German regulators = $2,300,000
July - settlement paid after an FTC investigation following the Cambridge Analytica scandal = $5,000,000,000 (that's $5 billion!)
July - fine imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection to the Cambridge Analytica scandal = $100,000,000
July - fine issued by a superior court judge in San Francisco for refusing to provide posts that could have helped in a criminal trial = $1,000
October - fine issued for a data breach, imposed by authorities in Turkey = $282,000
October - settlement as part of a lawsuit alleging that Facebook inflated viewership metrics = $40,000,000
I can't wait to see how much Elon Musk will get fined upon Twitter, if he keeps up his shenanigans.
As far as micro transactions specifically go, there's nothing inherently illegal about it, that's more of an issue of parents that cannot say "no" looking to place the blame on someone else.
KH is extremely unlikely, Skyrim SE is a possibility as its so old and its dirt cheap so wouldn't cost them much.
Anyone know what the dark patterns are?
Yes, its a link to what I posted in the first post.
Good, that should be motivation enough for Valve not to become ♥♥♥♥ like their competitors for decades to come.
