Two former University of Maryland men’s basketball players are suing the makers of Fortnite, claiming the video game’s creators misappropriated a dance they popularised online.
The US federal lawsuit, filed on Monday in Maryland, accuses North Carolina-based Epic Games of unfairly profiting from the Running Man Challenge dance.
The suit says the Running Man dance that Fortnite players can purchase for their characters is identical to the dance that Nickens and Brantley created.
