“Wonderful”

I'm glad the company takes the time to add the worst possible overpowered items in the game and does nothing about it, but would rather nerf items that are already bad enough. Good work team.

“I Hate Epic”

Euclide L.
3/2/24

I hate Epic Games. I don't understand how they land so many exclusivity deals with this crappy launcher. Everything runs worse on their system. I left a photo of the type of stuff I deal with them every single time I try to play a game on their platform. I know this wouldn't happen if I was on Steam. Most of the time, I have to play for a little while, then shut the entire thing down and reopen it. It's awful. I also hate Fortnite. I hate everything about this company. Thanks for making my life a little $#*!tier, Epic.

Seems they have an automated system to detect cheating but it rarely works for people that know how to hide cheats. You will almost always get banned for blatant cheating or talking about cheating on voice as I believe they have an AI system that listens to your every move. It's also a problem because anyone with more than 20 viewers has the power to ban anyone they want with the stupid system whether they were cheating or not. I do not recommend spending your time on any game that they have.

Epic Games customer service is appalling terrible and unresponsive. My son got several Fortnight vcards for Christmas. We followed the process to redeem and they never showed up in his account. I opened a ticket on 12/24 and literally didn't receive a response until a month later. They then sent another email a day later that they were closing the ticket because I didn't respond in a timely manner.

They should probably change the name of their "Free Games" service to "get a free weekly Sh!tty game that you will probably never actually play". One wonders if they will ever run out of the worst games ever made to give out for free every week. Why can't decent games be given out for free more frequently? I honestly don't even think it's worthwhile to log in after work hours every Thursday any more

$#*!ty $#*!ty game. Can't succeed if you don't have 0 ping. When connection is running good you get matched up with at least 2-3 pro players. Matched up with them because they're "the face of Fortnite" Fortnite doesn't care about us they only gaf about making their pro players look good.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of epic games by phone? My son's account was hacked he has been playing since the game came out and has so much money into the game. Epic games is telling him they cannot do nothing about it. Now I know there's others who have put a lot of money into this game so if I were u I would stop giving them ur money. If our accounts can't even be secured from hackers we no longer can trust epic games. This is stealing money and I really need help. If u have something negative to say don't bother u will be removed! Thanks for your time.

I am deeply dissatisfied with Epic Games' customer support. Despite providing clear evidence of my hacked account and ownership, their only proposed solution was email verification. I have invested money in this account, and the lack of assistance or alternative resolutions is highly frustrating. I expected more from a company of this stature.

Already 10 emails have been sent back and forth and it is still not resolved when logging into my account. I only hear thank you for your patience and then a standard message again which does not solve the problem. This has been going on for 3 months now

-scheduled updates not working
-can not work with the screen off
-complicated for nothing
- go to Steam (not affiliated to Valve, it just is better) or download your epic content online.

Never contact support, they'll only make your problem worse. In August 2023, I had an issue with my Fortnite account and thought I'd reach out to Epic Games Live Support Chat (biggest mistake). Anyway, I explained the problem, and the staff member said, "I can't help you, suspicious activity is on the account," and then closed the ticket. I thought, whatever, I'll just solve it myself. But what do I see when I try to log into the Epic Launcher? "The account has been deactivated." And every time I contact Epic, they close the ticket with the reason: "We couldn't identify you as the creator of the account and can't make any changes to the account," even though I've provided all the information and it was correct. And they still close the ticket. NEVER REACH OUT TO THEM. One star would be too much. Still haven't found a solution.

Fortnite sucks so bad. They neeeeeed to bring og back for longer. Put more bots in zero build lobbies and charge less for v bucks. The item shop for the past month has sucked. I'm looking to buy a new skin but the shop is so bad I can't find any good things to buy. Also the battle pass is terrible. I neeed better skins. Add stewie from family guy as a backbling. Get better :(

Make sure you are prepared to jump through 100 hoops. Verify a ridiculous amount of information. Be ready for frustrated kids and husbands trying to figure this $#*! out too. It would be best if Epic made a simple REDEEM button in all of their games. Like a V Bucks card for Fortnite as an example. There has to be an easier way.

I purchased a DLC for MechWarrior 5. Heroes of the Inner Sphere. After giving them 20 dollars I got a game in my library that wont launch. I wasted a whole night trouble shooting it and I'm so angry. I just want my money back.

Trash can of a game should end it company ideas are terrible just give up on a dead game. They try to make it better by adding random crossovers but are just tryna make the most money out of the game that's already dead. Instead of adding good updates they add new skins.

Every gun I this game only works for certain consoles that should not be like that an controllers does not have aim assist you can barely hit anything for 10 foot even streamers an pro players complain so why can't we get at least so things fixed like only being able to play with your own console Xbox plays with Xbox pc plays with pc it's only fair for the game community that's actually playing the game
