Das Anliegen

We demand that Epic Games immediately aligns the "Pirate Shop Access Token" event—and all future RNG systems in Fortnite—with European consumer protection laws (EU Digital Services Act & UCPD).

THE ISSUE: Epic Games is currently driving millions of players—including a massive demographic of minors—into an exhausting, time-limited grind for a token worth roughly €8,000 in shop items. With astronomical odds of 1 in 137,500, zero Pity (guaranteed drop) system, and a strict 30-day deadline, winning is mathematically near-impossible regardless of how much time a player invests. Players are sinking 80+ hours into a manipulative loop designed solely to farm user engagement.

THREE DEMANDS: 

  1. Full In-Game Transparency: Drop rates must be clearly displayed inside the game at the point of interaction—not hidden in external social media posts on X.
  2. End Predatory FOMO & Impossible Math: Combining artificial scarcity with unreachable odds is an illegal "Dark Pattern" under EU law (DSA Article 25). RNG events must include fair safety nets (Pity systems).
  3. Ban Secret Drop-Rate Manipulation: Server-side systems (such as "Clover") capable of secretly altering or disabling drop rates without public notice must be transparent and regulated.

"Free-to-play" does not mean free from ethical standards. Our lifetime and mental health are not a currency for corporate engagement metrics. Sign this petition to stand up against psychological manipulation in gaming!
