Epic Games = Refund

[seigneur.belial]

It's such a shame that you need an Epic Games account.
This game looks great.
I won't be playing it because of that.

No you don't need an epic account. But k bye!

you dont need an account

They very clearly state on the store page that it needs a 3rd party epic account to play online yet you still bought it and got mad lol

The notifier on the Steam page is misleading. The game uses Epic Online Services due to plans for cross-platform capabilities. At no point does an actual account need to be linked; as it states upon first launching the game, it will immediately create a blank account used solely for multiplayer connectivity.

Jeezuz, not a GAME STORE account, though! Why do people still think this? The agreement is to just use the Epic ONLINE SERVERS to facilitate online play, which also facilitates crossplay. You probably already have games from Steam where thier devs do this - it's simply cheaper and more convenient than a company spending time and money making their own.

Oh that's disappointing
I actually was somewhat interested in this to be honest

The steam page is not very helpful - there is a lot of room for interpretation:
Requires 3rd-Party Account: Epic Online Services (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

Holy shi-t this guy is stupid lol...

Not in the way a lot of people are thinking. All you do is click the button to use EOS, and if you already have an Epic account connected to Steam, it uses it. If you don't, an "empty" account is automatically created for you. That's all you do is click one button.

imagine not knowing how to read or caring if you connect other game services. get over yourself

Steam (and a game's developers) also get telemetry sent to them, via the API, but the Epic Tinfoil Hatters don't make any fuss about it. They probably just don't even know about it! 😄
