We know that Fortnite creator Epic Games comes down hard on cheaters. Not only has it banned thousands of players who use software to gain an advantage in the game, but the company has also launched lawsuits against cheaters. Now, its suing two prominent YouTube personalities who appear on a channel with 1.7 million subscribers.

In the suit, Brandon Lucas (Golden Modz) and Colton Conter (Exentric) are accused of infringement of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, breach of contract, and unfair and deceptive trade practices. The company added that the duo were "creating unauthorized derivative works of Fortnite by unlawfully modifying the game's code."

They didn't just cheat, they profited but selling and advertising tools that modified the code of the game for the purpose of cheating. Plus they have a huge YouTube channel, so they definitely have money, and won't do any jail time for this so it's pretty fair, next on Epic Games' part.

Koala's have lifespans similar to cats and dogs. A 14 year old koala would be an experienced vet koala, not a child.

I mean Golden Modz has 173 million views on his videos since August 2015. If most of that is monetized and he is also selling modding devices he probably does earn a solid income.

Don't you need to make like, double that in your first year or something to be considered for monetization?

I don't know much about getting a career on Youtube, but as I understand it the criteria is ridiculous.

The threshold is vastly lower than 173 Million your first year. I think its monthly quota. Like 5000 subscribers(not new just at all) and 50K monthly views or something. I might be wrong or it mightve changed but it certainly isnt roughly several hundred million views threshold.

That said a lot of tubers also have patreons or music/merchandise/etc, as additional or their main earnings.

No, you only need 1000 subscribers and 400 hours of watch time in the previous 12 months to be eligible for monetezation

Title is wrong.

Company has rights to the code and stuff. Unauthorized mods usually go unnoticed unless you cheat but they made money off of a code that isn't theirs.
