So my email is being used by someone in Russia.
They evidently don’t send out like confirmation when you sign up for an account to the email you put on the account.
What a shit show.
I was willing to give them a shot to play Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, but now I have to wait forever for the account to be deleted so I can remake it. So I don’t get to play because they can’t be bothered to do the absolute minimum on their end, which is making me rethink doing it at all.
Edit: Apparently they don’t email for confirmation for “DELETE MY ENTIRE ACCOUNT LOL” either.
It’s like Apple only more incompetent and stupid.
Have you double checked to make sure you’re not just racist toward Chinese people?
In all seriousness, that situation sucks. It’s the growing pains of a new store, I just wish we weren’t “forced” (if we don’t want to wait a year or whatever to play certain games) to use it before it had more time in the oven.
It’s just incompetence on their end across the board. Not new pains.
That someone can sign up using anyone’s email and there is no confirmation wouldn’t pass muster, ever, anywhere.
That you can’t fix it when it happens just speaks to them being hopelessly inept.
It is ridiculous. I wonder if it’s still that way now, or if this dates back to when Paragon or Fortnite launched. I know that’s when my account comes from. Your point is valid, though, even then there should have been a verification requirement.
You would think. I have two emails and I was losing my ISP, so I go to all my accounts that use my isp email & proceed to change them to my gmail account. Paypal and Netflix both had accounts with my email. Paypal has been no help whatsoever, regardless how many times I have called and talked to a real person. The netflix one I was able to reset it the password.
Even in this day & age, it astounds me on how many sites allow you to sign up without verifying the email.
Well not all sites are primarily digital. Epic certainly can’t use that excuse.
Target, for years wouldn’t let you change an e-mail address. It was your login and if you wanted another one you best open a new account… they fixed that.
I don’t know, I’ve had this issue since forever. Like you, it’s usually every few days it seems to have forgotten me. I thought maybe it was the fact that I have a gaming desktop and laptop, but if you’re getting it too maybe it’s something else. It could also be every time the store updates and I’m just not noticing when it does, perhaps?
My conversations with those complaining about a lack of shopping cart haven’t actually been inconvenienced by the inability to purchase multiple games at once, they’re pissed about exclusivity and are eager to throw fuel on the anti-Epic fire.
I bought 2 games from them at once and lack of a shopping card is silly in this day an age. Pretty much everything about the store is subpar. I am most likely waiting on Steam for any future purchases.
