In addition to the virtual currency, Epic will also be providing "up to $26.5 million in cash and other benefits to U.S.-based Fortnite and Rocket League players" to settle the claims. Those cash payments (of up to $50 per claimant) will only be available to players who submit an active claim form establishing that they think their purchase constituted "consumer fraud" or breach of contract. Minors in California who purchased a loot box "with [their] own money and without parental permission" will also be eligible for a cash refund of up to $50 if they submit a claim.
Oh, I see, there is cash. Yeah, this is typical of class-action settlements. $50 back on your dishwasher that burned down a few people's houses.

Under a proposed settlement for that suit, which Epic says has achieved preliminary approval, all players who purchased a loot llama at any time will be rewarded with 1,000 V-Bucks. In an entirely unrelated coincidence, the cost for each virtual good in Fortnite and Rocket League is being increased by 1,001 V-Bucks.close
