Earlier this week, Epic had a little problem with its a spectator mode in Fortnite, accidentally issuing formal warnings to some players who were just hanginā out on a server watching other people play.
Turns out the āspectate game in progressā mode was at fault, with the game mistakenly believing that players simply watching a game were instead involved in āteaming,ā the practice of players working together actually in a game.
As this Reddit thread points out, some of those falsely warned are now getting an apology from Epicāwho have addressed and fixed the errorāin the form of 1000 V-Bucks. For reference, resident Fortnite expert Riley MacLeod tells me thatās enough to buy the season 2 battle pass with 50 V-Bucks left in change, so it could have been worse.
