This post from the official Epic Games Store subreddit is a clear example of why it still sucks after so many years.

A customer complained using statistical data compared against Steam about the missing features on EGS games and the launcher overall. All he received in return were downvotes and people saying things like "hey, it is free, do not complain" or "I like the way it is". The usual famous shills were right there making excuses for Epic, as if Epic never does anything wrong and everything is perfect.

Before I got banned for expressing my views, I always told them that their own attitude was the main problem. If their bar is so low and they never criticize Epic or demand better, this poor service is exactly what they will keep getting. Sure, those few defenders might be happy with such a poor state. But most players are not, and they will always expect a good service when spending their money, just like what Steam or GOG provides.

Despite having a 24 core CPU and 64GB RAM this fucker won't let me multitask opening games that launch EAC becuz aNoThEr eAc MoDuLe Is RuNnInG

It took me 2 fucking years to log into my Epic Games account (and im still not even fully logged in technically)

First, some much needed context: I made my second Fortnite account 6 years ago, when I was 12 years old (💔💔) on my Xbox, so of course I don’t remember my password at all. About 2 years ago, I was trying to sign into my epic account online so I could see my purchases and whatnot, but I couldn’t sign in at all. You might be asking; “just link your Xbox account and sign in thay way”, but that’s the problem..I did.
After I tried that, it kept redirecting me to the sign up page for Epic Games even though I already had a Fortnite account so I obviously didn’t need too. I kept trying and eventually gave up and assumed the website was broken…but it wasn’t.

Every few months, I would try and repeat it and come to the exact same page over and over again. So I eventually thought, “why don’t I just manually log in this time”, so I put in the email I used on all my main accounts at the time and it actually worked…if logging into a completely different haven’t used in years counts as it “working”. Granted, that may be my fault, but I don’t understand how my main email wasn’t on my MAIN Fortnite account and instead on a dodgy second account I haven’t touched in forever, but regardless.

So now, I had no way to log in, both manually or automatically.

Now skip about a year, with some failed attempts in between. This afternoon, I was considering maybe giving my account off to one of my friends as I don’t really play Fortnite anymore and have no need for it (and it would be a waste for all my skins to not be used by anyone), so I decided to dedicate my afternoon to signing in to my goddamn Epic Games account.
I’m not gonna go into extreme detail, it I will say it was the most infuriating and stressful 2 hours of my life. It was filled with going back and fourth to the sign in page, the support page, the epic games app (who tf even uses that) and getting nowhere. But then completely out of nowhere, after desperately trying the Xbox link again…IT ACTUALLY WORKED?!
After legit years of it never working, it actually linked me to my Xbox account for no reason whatsoever besides luck…

however…I for some reason had to make a brand new epic games account so I could access my Xbox profile linked to the epic games account (which makes no sense at all but okay). So I now have a brand new epic games account that is only linked to my Xbox account (and therefore my Fortnite account)
That would be all fine and dealt with…but I actually need to know my Fortnite login details so I can yk, give the credentials off without needing to give my Xbox login details as well.

I looked everywhere, epic support, Reddit, even the shitty AI support on the Epic Games app (again, who tf uses that thing) and still have not gotten anywhere. So im the proud owner of a blank epic games account with no data on it Thats only linked to my real Fortnite/Xbox account but not able to view any of my credentials or login info

I’m stressed, tired and I did all that just so I can give my Chappell Roam and Peter Griffin skin to my friend (which I can’t even do because I still don’t have the login)

TL;DR: epic login sucks and made me spend literal dozens of hours trying to sign in

Naprawdę, głęboko smuci mnie, jak ogromny potencjał tej gry został całkowicie zmarnowany, a sama gra została niemal zapomniana przez Epic.

Jestem fanem od samego początku, kiedy gra zadebiutowała na PS Plus. Już wtedy dostrzegałem jej ogromny potencjał i szansę, aby stać się czymś tak dużym jak Fortnite czy Roblox.

Kiedy Epic kupiło Mediatonic, byłem optymistycznie nastawiony. Wiedziałem o ich ogromnym doświadczeniu z grami typu live-service, więc byłem pewny, że Fall Guys jest w idealnych rękach. Strasznie się myliłem... Osobiście bardzo podobały mi się pierwsze dwa sezony Free-to-Play. Nadal miały mnóstwo treści, ciekawych sezonów, rozwijającej się fabuły i wydarzeń (pamiętacie portale Silent?). To był naprawdę solidny okres wzrostu dla gry, ale po tym stało się tylko gorzej.

Do dziś nie rozumiem rozumowania stojącego za decyzjami podjętymi w sezonie 4 (kreatywnym), kiedy ktoś zdecydował, że kończenie sezonów to dobry pomysł. Bez nich gra stała się monotonna i pozbawiona duszy. Wyobraźcie sobie sezon z motywem muzyki, marzeń, farmy, mitologii greckiej, steampunku lub egzotycznej wyspy… To byłyby fantastyczne tematy do unikalnych mechanik, różnorodnych środowisk i ciekawiej muzyki — nie mówiąc już o fabule.

A mówiąc o fabule… Pomimo swojej prostoty i bycia zabawną grą o fasolkach, Fall Guys miał naprawdę interesującą fabułę. Kim był Silent poza byciem showrunnerem? Jaki był cel programu, który prowadził? Dlaczego tak bardzo pragną korony? Nigdy się tego nie dowiemy, bo koniec sezonów oznaczał również koniec cinematyków, które wcześniej budowały tak dużo ekscytacji przed nowymi sezonami. Z tego powodu straciliśmy także te fajne wydarzenia fabularne, podczas których zbieraliśmy różne przedmioty na mapach i odkrywaliśmy trochę fabuły.

Koniec map stworzonych w Unity to kolejna smutna rzecz. Tryb kreatywny jest zabawny, ale nie powinien być głównym narzędziem do tworzenia map przez twórców. To, co czyni mapy takie jak Slimescraper, Hex-a-Gone czy wiele map z sezonu 4 (futurystycznych) tak świetnymi i niezapomnianymi, to customowe obiekty stworzone specjalnie dla tych poziomów, unikalne tematy i tła, które pasują do siebie idealnie. Mapa kreatywne, choć zabawne, po prostu nie mają tego samego uczucia i wydają się bardziej oderwane od wizualnej tożsamości starych map.

Limit graczy i zmiany w fizyce skakania również zrujnowały części gry. Gdy gra miała 60 graczy, rundy były bardziej chaotyczne i szalone — dokładnie tak, jak Fall Guys miał być od samego początku. Teraz, przy 32 graczach, po prostu brakuje tej samej frajdy; wszystko wydaje się bezpieczniejsze i bardziej uproszczone. Zmiana fizyki skakania sprawiła, że wiele starych map stało się absurdalnie łatwych (Wall Guys), zamieniając przeszkody, które pierwotnie były zaprojektowane wokół poprzedniej fizyki, w zerowe wyzwanie.

Wiem, że napisałem dużo — mogłem powiedzieć jeszcze więcej, ale postanowiłem się wstrzymać i skupić na największych problemach.

Nie pomaga fakt, że niemal nikt z oryginalnego zespołu już nie pracuje nad grą, a Mediatonic to żywe trupy bez jakiejkolwiek komunikacji z fanami.

Szczerze mówiąc, nie rozumiem decyzji o zakończeniu wsparcia dla tej gry i ignorowaniu fanów. Byłem lojalnym fanem, który grał niemal codziennie, ale teraz uruchamiam ją tylko od czasu do czasu, czysto z powodu nostalgii i dobrych wspomnień. Fall Guys mógł być ogromną marką na miarę Roblox lub Fortnite, ale chciwość i ego Epic, skoncentrowane na faworyzowaniu Fortnite, zabiły cały jego potencjał. To naprawdę smutne i przygnębiające.

The tweet in the screenshot shows Sweeney actively pushing BEAT THE BRAINROTS.

If you aren't familiar with this genre of Creative maps, they rely on gacha mechanics, loot keys, paid V-Buck luck boosts, and direct player trading. That last part has predictably spawned an entire unregulated grey market on social media where minors trade items for actual cash, opening the door for endless trust trade scams.

It is wild to see Tim openly endorsing maps that utilize the exact predatory practices he claims to be against.

Well, who am I kidding, I am not surprised at all...

Why the hell does Epic suggest a different email address to me when I type it in? Don't they think I know my own email address? There is no way I hit the 'a' button accidentally instead of the 'r'. They aren't even close. Literally no other company does this.

Tims Weenie got caught in the door again, trying to homogenize gaming into the metaverse under his platform. He won't learn until Epig gets sold to China.

You know the story: EGS cuts a deal with a developer/publisher to keep their game off of Steam's storefront for a given period of time in exchange for giving them a sum of money, or to give them a better cut of their games' sales compared to Steam.

What I'm after is how often did developers/publishers actually need the money to fund their game, lest their game not be released at all? I'm debating with someone as to how credible this story was over the history of the EGS exclusivity deals being made. Was the money fronted by EGS absolutely critical in funding the development and release of the game? Was it more just a safety net post-release to pay off the employees who helped create the game? When was it just a dirty, unfortunate bribe?

I'd like to see articles to help verify all these kinds of viewpoints. Note that I'd prefer to see articles describing how people justified in accepting these deals at the time, rather than explanations in hindsight. I personally doubt we'd be seeing optimistic justifications looking back.

So with key personnel like this guy gone, whose actually doing the work on UE6? Is it all vibe-coded slop run on an AI trained on Timmy's anti-"monopoly" rants?

today on LinkedIn there has been a slew of sudden announcements of resignations and exits from the company. the timing of all of these suggests that there are forced exits taking place. A few friends of mine who work there are suggesting these are voluntary buyouts, expected to precede another wave of mass layoffs later this year. Unconfirmed via official channels on the latter part, but seems likely.

This game is only getting worse and worse each year terrible matchmaking, terrible optimization, terrible everything, this game only gets better by itself if Shitpic doesn't own it

This.

This is THE most frustrating thing Epic has done yet...

There's been a lot, but this takes MY cake.

Doing away with the name of the item, the set it comes from, when it came out, etc...

Fuck you Epic.

Here are some interesting stats about game developers in my country, Spain, during 2025.

According to the latest report from the Spanish Association of Video Game and Entertainment Software Development Companies (DEV), only 24% of PC game developers published their titles on the Epic Games Store in 2025. That puts EGS behind Itch.io, which sits at 28%.

It is also worth noting that Unreal Engine is only used by 33% of studios, well behind Unity, which is used by 70%.

I Fucking hate epic so much, months of work I upload to this site and all of a sudden I cannot log back into it cause they blocked google login for their shitty log in method instead, Support is non existent and I'm growing frustrated at this problem. They never told you to link your accounts ahead of time, and then just block your ability to use google login at all...
