Epic Games to sue former employee over leaking Fortnite comet details

Llama-LTM-770x403.jpg

The company behind Fortnite, Epic Games, is in the process of taking legal action against one of their ex-employees. They've alleged that the former worker, named Thomas Hannah, who was in charge of QA, had been leaking private information to gaming news outlets and the Fortnite subreddit. The contents of which were over the game's third and fourth seasons, and were strictly under NDA. Epic is demanding compensation for "irreparable injury" due to the leaks, as well as paying for the legal fees required to make the suit. Hannah and his lawyer are trying to get the charges dismissed, stating that an unidentified third party pressured the information via guesses and questions that implicated Hannah, resulting in the eventual leaks. Though he says it was of no fault of his own, he is thereby admitting to having indulged in a conversation over information that was classified under an NDA with Epic Games.

Good luck trying to prove lost sales because people knew about the comet in advance. If you want to sue him for breaking the NDA, then do that, but don't throw around words like "irreparable injury".
Is not about the commet. The reddit user leaked almost all of season 4 like 2-3 weeks before its arrival. And also leaked a few remaining stuff of season 3.
