        Good. The fault is absolutely on Epic for not putting in proper confirmation dialogues for spending resources tied to real world currency. And, as a former f2p/mobile game dev, I don't buy the argument of "we didn't know that would happen!". They absolutely knew, and were trying their luck. Thing is, they most likely made a lot more in erroneous purchases than what they have to pay in reimbursements (think people accidentally pressing a button, making an erroneous purchase, then choosing to "live with it because the amount was small anyway")... So, in the long run the deceptive practice probably paid off for them. Though, I hope this lawsuit dissuades them from trying it again. ~Disclaimer: I know nothing about Epic's finances, so any assumption made above is just that: a baseless assumption, backed only by the fact I've had many similar experiences.~
