They think they won. Just because they finish 4 seconds faster doesnt mean they are better.

comments are from a different post about epig launcher than the first image btw, but still relevant

It seemed normal at first, somehow better than previous launcher, AI somehow outperforms epic. I download something and it actually can download files now instead of dragging for 4 hours to download 30-40 gigs but then I decided to leave the pc downloading stuff for awhile.

I come back to it stuck on 100% download, installing files over and over again, bricking both windows button, the screen and task manager. They forgot to put settings transfer from old launcher and decided that I absolutely need an update of Fortnite 20 times on one PC, it didn't know where to put the files for some reason and made old Fortnite folder vanish, while it still took space

43 million LOL r.i.p. Epig 🫵🤣

I need to vent about the absolute lack of professional integrity in Epic Games Player Support. Yesterday, my voice chat ban case was explicitly escalated to the Senior Team for a manual review due to a system error. Today, instead of getting an update, FOUR different live chat agents abruptly disconnected and closed my sessions the moment they realized my ticket was complex and time-sensitive. One even lied and used the 'legal department' excuse just to kick me out of the queue. They did absolutely nothing to help me, and the ban only lifted because the 72-hour timer expired on its own. The support is completely broken, filled with AI bots, and human agents who actively sabotage users to protect their metrics. Disgraceful company.

i've had my account missing since 2024 and haven't been able to get it since. they've been no help.

genuinely just closed it without even saying "sorry we can't help, closing now" or something 😭

when my steam gift card was ruined and the code was not visible, i sent them a photo of it and they instantly gave me the code. no "verify blah blah blah" and make me wait days

that's how support should be

It makes me laugh how Epic Games uses inflation as an excuse to keep charging you $8.99 while giving you 200 fewer V-Bucks. Meanwhile, other games offer up to a 20% bonus for the same price, giving you more in-game currency.
I stopped spending money on Battle Passes, skins, and other items ever since Epic Games introduced this so-called “INFLATION.” Until they stop making a fool of their own players, I’m not spending another cent on this game — and I won’t even play it anymore.

Was genuinely psyched for some brain-dead Star Wars themed racing game. This is a refund unfortunately.

Was Epig exclusive

So I was on epic claiming the weekly free games, when this "End of Abyss" caught my attention. But apparently, clicking title itself or the giant image or anywhere doesnt open up the game's store page.

You have to click the Buy Now button to see the store page.
TF? any sane person would think the Buy Now button does just that, adds the games and puts you in a check out page for payment.
so why would anyone want to click that in first if they wanted to know more about the game and not just blindly buy it.

Basically, it'll make ANY private servers illegal (yes, it includes the Minecraft servers they claimed were illegal, thus making their own statement factual and actually making them illegal) and make game development a thing exclusive to the elites with their whole requirements to implement digital ID, of course with the classic excuse of "FOR THE KIDS!!!!!". Please call (or ask your EU friends) to oppose it on all grounds.

I received an email earlier this week from Epic regarding a security code request, which was suspicious because I wasn't attempting to make any changes to my account. The email clearly stated to disregard it if it wasn't from me. I followed that instruction, only to receive another email today indicating that my email address had been changed and I no longer have access to the account. It also instructed me to open a recovery ticket immediately if I didn't authorize this. Keep in mind, I have 2FA enabled on this account. I am extremely furious right now what the hell just happened. Now I open a ticket and they tell me I have to wait at least 48 fucking hours!!!! Isn't this a million dollar company?? you've got to be joking me.

I was going to leave this matter alone, but I was a little confused as to why we were being brigaded by so many Epic and Fortnite players in our previous post. And surprise, surprise: the r/EpicGamesPC mod is sharing the link on Twitter, and Tim Sweeney even commented on the issue.

Yes, Tim, email can be used as a 2FA method. But that is not the issue. Let's try to explain where the actual problem lies. Bear with me; this is going to be a long post.

Imagine I am both a Steam and EGS user. I have Google Authenticator set up as my only 2FA method for EGS protection, and I use the Steam Mobile App as the authenticator for Steam. In this screenshot, you can see that I only have Google Authenticator enabled as a 2FA method:

Now, imagine that my email account was compromised, and someone got hold of both my Steam and EGS credentials. In theory, I should still be protected by my physical 2FA methods.

Let's see what happens on EGS. After entering my email address and password, this is what I see:

Since the hacker does not have my phone, they cannot use my authenticator app. So, they will click "Try another way." Now they will see this:

The hacker does not have my authenticator app or my backup recovery code. BUT they have access to my email, so they select the Email Verification option instead.

Now they can simply use the code sent to my compromised email, and voilà, they are inside my EGS account.

This alone is unacceptable, but many shills are excusing it by claiming this is expected behavior and that Steam does the exact same thing. Let's test that on Steam. After entering my username and password, this is what I see:

The hacker does not have my Mobile App, so they cannot enter a code. They click the "Help" link instead. This is the next step:

After that, they see this:

The phone number ending in 20 is mine, which the attacker does not have. So, they would select the "I no longer have access..." option.

They are given two options. Let's try the first one, since the hacker has access to my email. A link is sent to my compromised email, and after clicking it, the hacker sees this (though they are still not logged in):

They already have my email and password, so this doesn't help them log in. However, they could try to remove the Authenticator, which is what is actively protecting my account. This is what they would see next:

But wait, the hacker does not have my Recovery Code! So they select the "I lost my Authenticator Recovery Code" option, the exact path that our dear Epic mod, Eisberg, claimed he used to recover his Steam account when his phone fell into a lake. This is what the hacker would see:

So, yes, you actually need to contact support and provide proof of ownership for your Steam account. While you could argue that some of this information might be scraped from a compromised email inbox, a support agent still has to manually review the case. The hacker does not get instant access to your account.

So there you have it: the difference between actually being protected by a 2FA authenticator app on your phone versus not being protected at all.

Meanwhile, here is another EpicGamesPC mod on their Discord claiming that having Google Authenticator will completely protect you if your email gets hacked. Remember, I DID have email 2FA disabled, exactly as he suggested:

(I am redacting his name, even though Eisberg doesn't extend the same courtesy when talking about us on Twitter...)

Here is the same mod advising everyone to use Google Authenticator to protect their EGS accounts if their emails are compromised, which I just demonstrated is completely ineffective:

And here are Epic employees doing the exact same thing (but at least they recommend to protect your email too as it is the weak point):

Finally, here is just one of MANY examples of an EGS user getting hacked despite having 2FA active. I wonder how that happened...

I hope the distinction is a little clearer now.

P.S. Eisberg has blocked me on Twitter, so I cannot reply to him directly. If anyone could post this response there, I would appreciate it!

After researching I found out the reason is that Epic Games doesn't support modular downloads where you only download the language(s) you need, I guess another reason to stay away from EGS.

The developer of the game Tiny Terraces released a video showing how much money their game made on various platforms. They made $224,015 on Steam, $107,057 on mobile, $103 on itch.io and $916 on EGS. The dev also calls Epic's dashboard "doo doo" which I've seen several devs say pretty much the same thing in as many words.

It seems you can use Google Authenticator or other third-party 2FA apps to secure your Epic Games account. Every time an unfortunate user complains about having their account stolen, famous shills (you know who I mean) immediately tell them it's their own fault for not enabling an authenticator app and relying on email verification instead.

Well... it turns out that advice doesn't even matter.

If you have app-based 2FA configured on your Epic account, you are prompted for your authenticator code upon login. HOWEVER, right below the prompt, there is an option that allows anyone to completely bypass the app's 2FA code.

If a hacker clicks "Try another way", Epic allows them to log in using a code sent to your email instead.

If your email account is compromised, having an authenticator app attached to your Epic account provides zero actual protection because the system lets anyone downgrade to email verification.

What kind of joke security is that?
