Fortnite is a game with a lot of cosmetics, dances and other elements based on historical times, cultural references or social movements. Dozens of skins and dances have become very popular, but from time to time, they also generate polemics.
Epic Games has been involved in one of them because the company has been accused of steal a dance and a skin that are used in the battle royale. Although the rights to that dance are owned by the developer, the combination of both elements was not contemplated.

Matthew Geiler, who responded to the lawsuit through his company Sick Picnic Media, sold the rights to the dance to Epic Games, which we attach a little below, for the amount of U.S. dollar 10.000. However, Geiler believes that Epic Games is using his image without permission, as the 'Fortnitemares' Halloween event allowed the player to dress their character in a pumpkin head and perform the dance with him, something that is similar to the original.
The argument put forward by Epic Games attorney Dale Cendali is that there are no similarities between the jack-o-lantern costume available to players and Geiler's, and that the concept of a person with a pumpkin on their face does not originate with Geiler, as it is from public domain.
