After a disastrous festival, the hosts of Fortnite Live are now being sued by Epic Games.

Over the weekend of February 16 and 17, a Fortnite event was held in England, billed as the “Fortnite event of the year” complete with a climbing wall and archery.

The event, which was not affiliated with Epic Games in any way, proved to be a disaster with many event-goers asking for refunds.

Fast forward to today, February 19, and Epic Games has announced it is suing the event hosts after the event went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Epic Games delivered a statement to Eurogamer announcing the legal action.

“The quality of our player experience is incredibly important to us, whether it’s inside the game or at official public events like last year’s Fortnite Pro-Am,” an Epic Games spokesperson said.

@EDP24 fortnite live event. 1 climbing wall between 3000+ children. 4 go karts between the same amount, nobody dressed up as characters, people still queuing 2hrs after gates open. Absolutely awful #fortnite #fortnitelive pic.twitter.com/D8laYvzbpG — #OfficalMarcSmith (@marc0835) February 16, 2019

“Epic Games was not in any way associated with the event that took place in Norwich and we’ve issued a claim against the organisers in the High Court of London.”

Exciting Events, the hosts of Fortnite Live, announced plans to bring the festival back next year, but it certainly doesn’t seem like that’ll be an option now.

In an interview with EDP, Shaun Lord, one of the people behind the event, spoke about the problems the team ran into.

“I would love it to be an annual thing,” Lord said. “Those people who didn’t get value for money on activities, we have got to make that better next year. It is highlighted to us now that we didn’t have enough of that.”
