From time to time
Youtubers and streamers can get themselves in some hot water some actual legal hot water
And today we're gonna talk about that exact scenario, and it's happening right now
With Fortnite, epic games and a couple of streamers, we're gonna get into that. What is up guys?
Jimmy or chaos, welcome to another update. We have an update on an update
It seems like every day there is something new in the Fortnite world
So drop a like if you guys never miss a video and we're gonna talk about a few things
We're gonna talk about the building sensitivity, which most everybody talked about yesterday
We're gonna talk about the events the tournaments that you can participate in and we're gonna talk about if you go too far Epic Games
Can actually file suit against you and people think oh, I'm protected. I'm on the Internet. I'm behind a keyboard
It's not a big deal
That's not the case people and if you get into hot water with one of these big publishing studios like Epic Games
Trust me their lawyer pool is deeper than yours. So we're gonna talk about that first
We're gonna start with the building sensitivity. It's over on Fortnite Intel
You guys can see it on the screen and if you didn't know what you probably did people on console and controller now
Are just a little bit closer to PC
Thanks to the brand-new patch players are not able to separately change their sensitivity for building instead of it being
Included with aiming up until this point if you raised your aiming sensitivity. Well it raised everything together
Now you can actually keep your aiming sensitivity where you want it and you can adjust your building sensitivity this new change will allow
console users to get one step closer to having the same building advantages as
players who use a mouse and keyboard on PC mouse and keyboard users will still have the options of all the different buttons in the
Mapping but this is a it's a it's a good start the right direction
This patch is allowing controller users on console to build much quicker than before due to the increased sensitivity epic games
Also updated the builder pro controller layout so that you can place a piece
instantly instead of switching to it and then having to press it again, so
Multiple ways you can build faster
If you're somebody that wants to learn to build faster on console and you feel like you're limited by your controller
Well, it's trust me. It's way better
Than it was three seasons ago. So take advantage of that and let me know what you guys think
Let me know what your building settings are
If you're a console player. Now before we get into talking about the Epic Games lawsuit, let's talk about tournaments in this
This is pretty cool. They drop this out of nowhere and this is for anybody if you're watching this video and
You have Fortnite you can get involved with these, and I know people are gonna say I suck at the game
There's no way I can. Well, yes you can. Okay
Yes, you can and right now it's just in game prizes like a shiny token or something
We'll go over that but I have a feeling as this goes up in matures and they they build it out flesh it out
You're going to see prizes in cash down the road
So, the first in-game Fortnite battle royale tournament is right around the corner if you go
to the tournament feature in the events tab
You can see it anyone can compete and it will take place over a number of days as players attempt to earn a target score
Based on their in-game performance epic games are revealed that the first alpha tournament will be October 16th and 21st
Which is today guys, and it will be a solo format. So you're riding alone
You can view all that on your dashboard when you go in. We'll talk about the details Fortnite competitors
There's currently a visual issue in the event. Ok, there's an issue. They're gonna go get that fixed
We're not worried about that. But check it out. Here's the Alpha tournament. It's tough
Here are the alpha tournament times so you know where you need to be so check that out
You guys can go on the event tab. There's the salty cup
There's all kinds of stuff that you can get involved with whether it is solos whether it is squads
There's a Friday night Fortnite. And I know, I know Friday night Fortnite was kind of
Created by keemstar. It was the first kind of it was the first Fortnite tournament
Ok
Super entertaining to watch everybody loved it the content creators the streamers the pros everybody that was involved in it
and then it got cancelled because Epic started doing their skirmishes and now
Epic Games has taken that Friday Fortnite tournament and they're doing it themselves
It's a little it's it's a different format
But there's some there's some people out there that are like, what the heck man?
What the heck so you guys let me know the comment section what you think about Keemstar's Friday Fortnite
Versus Epic Games' Friday Fortnite. Now, Let's get into the main topic of the day.
So like I said,
if you push boundaries too much against video game publishing companies any kind of company there could be repercussions
There could be backlash. And now that is happening. Epic Games has filed real lawsuits!
This is real world stuff guys, against two fortnite live streamers for sharing and producing videos of Fortnite related cheats and modification
software Brandon golden mods, Lucas and Colton
eccentric Coulter are being sued by Epic Games for violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act breach of contract and
Interference and gold mods tweeted out said imagine getting sued for making a YouTube video
Well, there's more to it than that gold and you like to keep it that?
Really broad, but there's there's more to it. You're not just making a youtube video.
So, the suit shared by Engadget requests that both content creators earnings be disc gorged along with paying standard court fees and
damage costs the earnings were made through selling cheap tools and
Modification software which should allow Epic Games to take some of their profit. Lucas has over
1.7 million subs on YouTube and defends himself with the argument that other youtubers were participating in the same activities
So he had no idea that his content was troublesome and if Epic Games wins the court case
which they're going to it will send a strong message to other modders and
cheaters and you can't use the excuse everybody else was doing it to I mean
If somebody asked me the scapegoat and it looks like you're going to so let's go. Look at golden mod champ, right?
So we're over on golden mods videos and what do we have here? We have default skins getting trolled by an aimbot,
Little kid says he's aimbot, venom uses aimbot on angry kids, golden mod sued
He obviously made a video about that. So he puts up videos of modded Fortnite things
I mean, this is a perfect example right here. I've got a giveaway and it looks like you can play as
venom in
Fortnite. Well, obviously
99.9% of the people out there
Cannot play as Venom in Fortnite
But if you go to this guy's channel, you can see all of his ads, his maplestory punch trailer number two
Hold on, let's get off of his ad. Here we go. I mean that's a pretty realistic looking skin and
Here's the deal. Here's why, well, for numerous reasons why epic wants to protect their IP.
Okay,
So you have this skin?
I mean if if you were somebody that was getting into Fortnite or you wanted to download it and you went on YouTube and you
Searched and you said wow, I'm a fan of venom. I just watched the movie
I want to get this game because Venom's in the game
Well, no, he's not and when you go get Fortnite
you can't use venom and this is Epic Games protecting their IP in multiple ways because that's not part of
Their advertised game this guy is putting stuff out there that you obviously have to manipulate you have to mod
You have to do things to get in the game and that leaves a bad taste in a publishing company like Epic Games'
Mouth and I totally understand why they're doing what they're doing
I know there's some people out there saying he's just making YouTube videos. It's not that serious
Well it is because that business has
Shareholders, they have a board of directors. They have all these things
They all have obligations to their shareholders to their investors
It is really really serious and when you impact impact that in any negative fashion
And they look at this as a negative fashion, which it is because you can't get these things in the normal Fortnite game
They're gonna take action and they have so here's my, my ending on it.
Don't do this kind of stuff because it's not that there's this invisible
barrier on the internet that protects you from these companies and
It doesn't protect you from copyright and things like that. They will come after you case and point. It's happening here
I've seen Activision do it with Call of Duty in the past
so don't think that you are untouchable and don't do something just because everybody else is doing it because
Somebody's gonna be made out to be the scapegoat
Somebody's going to be the example and it looks like it is these two guys right here
You guys let me your thoughts on this. It's it's I'm gonna cover it
I'm gonna follow it and see how it actually goes and
We're probably going to be able to see like what kind of earnings they made and what Epic is trying to get from
Alongside court costs and lawyer fees which is ridiculous. I mean that that's gonna be a ton itself
So you guys let me know what you think. Hope you guys enjoyed the update. Let me know what your building settings are
Let me know if you're gonna be involved in these Fortnite events. It's pretty cool
It's really cool, especially since it's accessible to everybody not a lot of prizes right now,
But I think they're gonna build out and in the future you'll be you'll have some opportunities to show off in these things
Hope you guys have a great day. I'll see
