This is misleading. With one button you can create an account w/ no name, email, password, or any other information. So technically I guess I have an Epic account, but I have no way of accessing it outside of RL. And Epic has nothing except a random ID that they generated for me.
- drcongo 6y agoThat's a very optimistic reading of it.
- treis 6y agoI went through the process last night. It was exactly as I described. IIRC they had an option to create/link an Epic account or create the shell one. I chose the shell and then it asked me if I wanted to link Steam friends. I said no and that was the end of it. Took 10 seconds.
- rStar 6y agoso you’re arguing it isn’t as you’re telling us it is?
- 0x6c6f6c 6y agoNot OP. But the flow was confusing because it asked if I wanted to link an account, I clicked "Not now", and then it automatically created an account for me with no input from me and then I could play.
- drcongo 6y agoSorry, I wasn't very specific with my post. I meant your last sentence is a very optimistic reading - why would Epic have done this if it wasn't to harvest your data?
- esyir 6y agoAs usual, boiling the frog works.
- manicdee 6y agoThat will work up until the point that they demand you update your account details in order to sign in.
