As requested, YouTube removed nine videos from Conter’s channel. Epic submitted a DMCA takedown notice to YouTube, calling the videos unlawful derivative works of Fortnite because Conter had used cheats to alter the coding of the game. The site, which no longer appears to have any items for sale, previously offered customers ’30 days of cheat’ for $54.99 and a ‘lifetime of cheat’ for $299.99, Epic alleges.Īs for Conter, Epic says he posted YouTube videos showcasing him using cheats while playing. And in addition to using cheats himself - apparently including in a video he uploaded just a week ago, called Venom Uses Aimbot On Angry Kids In Fortnite - Lucas operates a site called ‘ Golden Godz’ where he sells aimbots. In the filing, which was first reported by TorrentFreak, Epic claims Lucas uses cheats called ‘aimbots,’ which are pieces of programming that can make a player’s weapon automatically target an enemy’s head. The YouTubers being sued are Brandon Lucas, aka ‘ Golden Modz,’ a high-profile player with 1.7 million subscribers who nets between five and 10 million views per month, and Colton Conter, whose ‘ Exentric’ channel has just over 7,000 subscribers.Įpic filed suit in federal court in North Carolina, where the company is based. Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, has filed suit against two YouTubers for using cheats in the game, and then - this part applies to only one of the defendants - selling that programming to other players.
