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

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

    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.
