Redacted: Epic Games refused to pay two Fortnite Champions because they were Russian. The two champions were told that their $200,000 cash prize money would be withheld because they are from a “Prize Restricted Region.” But they don’t live in Russia. They live in Belarus, which is not a “Prize Restricted Region” and one of them holds a bank account in Kazakhstan, which is not one either. The rationale is that Russian people must be punished because their country “invaded” Ukraine. By that logic, all Americans should be punished for their country’s current illegal occupation of Syria. Or past invasion of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia… You pick. That would mean seizing Jeff Bezos’ yachts, Bill Gates' farmland and the Four Seasons. Wait, did we know that Bill Gates owns the Four Seasons? Well he does. And he gets to keep it because he's not Russian.
