You aren't 14. You're not incorrect, but you have a different frame of mind as a kid. I'm also not saying that that frame of mind shouldn't be changed. Because it should. However, I believe that how they're going about it is misguided.
Like I said, its overly harsh for Epic to be hunting people down for thousands of dollars simply for the crime of having their 14 year old being caught cheating in a game. Im pretty sure the vast majority of people arent likely to look favorably on such a scenario occurring. All Epic needs to do is teach the kid a lesson, conduct a lawsuit, but seek proportional damages. The lawsuit will indeed cost more money than the damages, but I cant see a scenario where Epic can "shake down" people and pay for lawyer costs as a viable solution. No, in seeking a lawsuit, Epic has decided to send a message, and to accept the costs of the message.
You two seem to have a disconnect going on here. The woman when she defended her son instead apologizing profusely, upheld her son's counterclaim against Epic. Not sure you guys are getting it. The kid and mother are not sorry and are fighting it. They deserve it and you never know what the result of a trial will bring. And these douchebags seem to want to bring it on. They are not the folk that we take pity on lol, you'd think that much was clear.
