The point of the settlement is to hit a company hard enough so they stop before doing something like this again.

Using in game currency and not real money is absolutely not going to achieve this.

No, that would be the purpose of a judgement. This isn't a judgement, it's a settlement. To Epic, the purpose is to make this go away. To those suing, the point is take a small but guaranteed windfall rather than risk a lengthy and uncertain court process.
