A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial or otherwise, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation or decision-making of that individual or organization.

>Speculation
>What's wrong with the combat? Really now? It's on unreal engine, made by unreal tournament devs. It's spot on. You're comparing an indie developer that made a mod with developers that made and have worked with the engine.
>Maybe i don't know what i'm talking about since i haven't played PUBG, just watched a few videos, but what are the differences here? What does PUBG have that Fortnite is missing?
Also your definition of the COI is definitely very helpful here. Much context, yes yes, so COI. I could almost go as far as to say take the coi out of your mouth, it doesn't fit within the context.

>Better shooting, good looting system, the camouflage, the feeling, etc.
It's not my definition of COI and it does work in the context, but you have to see it.
I just ran the new mission and Horde mode is garbage, it takes an hour to run one 10 wave mission and the rewards suck. It is a bummer too as I really wanted the new Raider Headhunter and Energy Thief Mari Legendary heroes but with my terrible RNG and this event not paying out tickets to get a llama a day like the last event that does not look like it will happen. I do not see many players wasting the time to get to the higher levels of this event just because the low stuff is such a big waste of time and is not rewarding at all for all that time required.
Tried the Battle Royale mode and didn't like it. Waiting for PvE.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

For one they are breaching state laws by going out with his info in public as he is a minor, also a bit like scare tactics going after users rather than the site itself like this but the guy sounds like an ass from some of the details that have come forth managing support and help for this particular cheat and specifically targeting streamers for the fun of it.
Not that Epic is handling it very well and running into issues with local state laws can kill the case entirely depending on how things go.
Mod Edit:
Additional information regarding the offenders role in this:
According to the complaints, both defendants seem to offer technical support for AddictedCheats.com and, with cheats the site provides, monitor streams and intentionally prevent streamers from winning. This practice, which is known as “stream sniping,” has been a semi-frequent and much-derided fad among the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds community—a game that Fortnite’s new battle royale mode expressly took some cues from. While Battlegrounds explicitly forbids cheating and stream-sniping in its rules of conduct, Fortnite’sonly explicitly forbids cheating. One defendant had been banned from playing Fortnite nine times. In response, he allegedly registered several other accounts with different names to continue playing Fortnite and stream-sniping. According to the complaint, when asked why he stream-snipes, the defendant said, “Because its [sic] fun to rage and see streamers cry about how loaded they are and then get them stomped anyways.”
When Epic Games altered Fortnite’s code to prevent further cheating, the second defendant allegedly found a work-around with, adding, “Now method is exposed . . . Epic Eat my ass.” Over Discord chat, both defendants declined to comment. Over Addicted Cheats’ Discord channel, an affiliate said that they’re not offering refunds to Fortnitecheaters who purchased their services.
What is wrong with this exactly? If you sell drugs when you are 14, you still get fucked for it (or at least your parents) and there are consequences. Online hacking is kind of laughed off, while gaming has a much bigger population now than 7 or 10 years ago and if we want e-sports to succeed in the long run, you have to make steps like these, so that the next few 12 year olds who think it is funny to cheat and also promote it by streaming will think twice.
I'm not defending a cheater, but that's pretty much a child and as we all know, some kids don't have a tendency of behaving smart. On the other hand, Epic, who should be on the moral high ground are handling this as shit (reminds me of CDPR a while back). They are clearly going for some scare tactic instead of facing the actual problem which does nothing else than proving a terrible management of the situation.
@Stige
Are you a cheater or why are you so mad dude?!
Sueing a kid for cheating on some online game? Just fucking pathetic. Yes I am mad. A huge company going after a KID?!? For shit like cheating? Just ban him and call it a day, problem solved.
Don't think I have ever cheated online, only at school playing LAN games while in class
