Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

  1. I lose access to the email I've had since 1997.

I try to reset my login credentials. The website is caught in a loop. I open a tech support issue explaining that I just need to change my email.

I get sent an automated reply being told email changes use the automated system......the one caught in the loop.

I post a reply to my ticket saying I can't use the automated system. It's stuck in a loop.

I get sent an automated reply being told to use the automated system.

I search google for an 800 number. I find there is no 800 number.

2026 I still haven't changed my email address. I also haven't bought a single game. I claim the free ones, snd I can still log in for now. But I just know eventually it'll say something like "For security purposes we've emailed you a code" snd that email will go to my lost email address. And I will have lost the whole account. So I'm not spending money on games I could lose next week.

So Epic, you want sales? Step 1, let me change my login email.

Step 2......well, you're still fucked. Steam is a juggernaut in their space.

But at least you gained 1 potential customer. Though lets be real.this 3 year wait has left a pretty bad taste im my mouth. I'm not sure if regaining my account would prompt me to buy from a company making me wait this long.

If it exists on GOG or Steam, I can't imagine wanting it on Epic.
