Reacting to the launch of a Fortnite token, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney stated categorically that the asset is not an official cryptocurrency related to the publisher’s hit battle royale game ‘Fortnite’, and threatened to take legal action.

Fortnite Token (FNT), is a scam

Tim Sweeney revealed that Epic Games was not behind Fortnite’s token (FNT). Although it appears that the Fortnite Token is using Fortnite’s logo, Epic Games, who created the game in all forms, has not been involved with the token.

The Fortnite Token (FNT) was launched in October 2021, claiming to be the official token for Fortnite, the world’s most popular game, and has an average userbase of 3 million users.

In a statement made on twitter, Sweeney firmly asserted: “You can’t use the Fortnite name and images without permission to market an unrelated product”.

Epic Games filed a complaint and Fortnite Tokens were removed from Telegram. Sweeney said that Epic Games is currently preparing a lawsuit against those who created the token.

FNT Creators Get Back

The team behind the Fortnite Token has reacted to Sweeney’s comments, claiming that FNT isn’t a scam cryptocurrency project.

Reacting via the official Fortnite Token Twitter (NYSE:) handle, the team underlines that FNT is a “fair-launch, community-driven, Fortnite game fans-created cryptocurrency project with no specified owner or company structure behind it.”
