They’d better not be playing all my free games before I get to them.

I guess if an ‘epic games account’ is only functions for Unreal Engine devs, it’s much less interesting to attack. But it’s also for fortnite and more other games.

I hate that I might be in the victim pool when I have that account merely for Unreal Engine. If only they would separate developer and gaming account.

So it’s the assets of which game?

Fuck ransomware gangs. Also, fuck Epic. I guess if it’s gotta happen the silver lining is that it happened to an asshole company.

RIP everyones EGS login account info

The irony would be hilarious if Epic were to complain about unwanted data collection.
