Fortnite's Community Selling Accounts Scandal

In the Fortnite community many people loves to buy different types of cosmetics such as skins, gliders, harvest tools, etc. However, in the Fortnite community there are people who would buy the cosmetics just to sell their accounts which causes a problems for Epic Games. How? You may ask. Well since Fortnite Battle Royale is a free to play game. The way Epic Games make their money is through their cosmetics and battle passes. While using a video game currency called V-bucks that you'll have to buy using real currency.

In this image there shows  Fortnite's currency called "V-bucks".

 However, Fortnite's users would rather buy other people accounts (filled with different cosmetics of course) instead of buying "V-bucks" even though Epic Games don't accept that. So Epic Games started to take precaution they started using two factor authentication so that a person's accounts don't get stolen. Also if you enable it you can get a free emote called "Boogie down".

This picture shows the emote  "Boogie down" that you can get if you enable 2FA ( Two Factor Authentication).

Even though selling and buying accounts can be bad it can be good due to having different cosmetics and or getting paid. However, BE CAREFUL! because there are scammers that will take your money without even giving you an account.
