Individuals who don’t actually get the message and proceed to make dozens upon dozens of accounts after getting banned, DMCA’d, threatened with lawsuits, and so forth.
Silly individuals, basically.
And normally what Epic calls for within the lawsuit is a stop and desist and an settlement that the defendant gained’t play or cheat, or distribute cheats, or make cheats, or speak about cheats, or advocate cheats, in any of Epic’s video games ever once more. Or be compelled to pay a sum someplace within the realm of $50k. It’s extra of an intimidation tactic than something.
