February 23, 2021 Fortnite-maker Epic Games on Monday put out word it is paying the equivalent of about $8 worth of its virtual money to some players to settle a lawsuit over so-called random-item « loot boxes. » The Fortnite maker said it would automatically drop 1,000 V-Bucks into accounts of players who bought Loot Llama pinata-style figures containing in-game items, without knowing what was inside until they had already purchased them. « While some of you enjoyed purchasing random item Loot Llamas and being surprised by the content unlocked, others were disappointed, » Epic said in a blog post.
