Default Epic Games Store is stopping users from buying too many games

Have you ever heard of a shop that does not want to sell too many items too quickly? Well Epic Games Store is trying to do just that all the while it is holding its ‘Mega Sale’. Last week, Epic Games announced*that it will be holding a ‘Mega Sale’ where certain titles will get up to 75 percent off which seems like a direct challenge to Valve‘s Steam and the sales held on it. Epic Games, when launching its PC games store, had decided that it would pay the developers of the game more money from its cut than was offered by the others in the industry. And by the industry it really means Valve, because they are the biggest there is.

And now with the ‘Mega Sale’, Epic Games is apparently capping the number of games that can be bought from a certain account.*Twitch streamer Patrick Boivin spoke about this issue on Twitter and said that he had purchased five games on the Epic store which was enough to get his account flagged up and marked up as potentially fraudulent, and this blocked him from buying any more games.

According to Chester, calling up Epic*player support does get this condition reversed, and it seems to be a problem with Epic Games Store’s*fraud prevention design. This might also be an issue because unlike Steam, Epic Games Store does not have the shopping cart feature, which means buying every single game is a transaction.
