Epic Games Uses Deadname

Bringing this to EVERYONE's attention. I purposely didn't have my most recent card on my account because Epic has falsely charged me before, and this way I could have paypal to back me up if it happens again. I got this email, called my bank, and found out EPIC CONTACTED THEM (+) Hello [redacted] We were notified by your credit card company that your payment method information was recently updated with a new card account number and/or expiration date. We have automatically updated your payment information on file. Should you have additional changes, please click here to review your payment methods. Thank you, The Epic Games Team It JUST dawned on me because I didn't think twice about censoring it. This email used my deadname. My deadname isn't on my Epic account. Or my Paypal. So they must have gotten it from my bank. Or some other method. Also behind my back. What the fuck.

A person shares an Epic Games payment-update email and realizes that it addressed them using their deadname, despite that name not appearing on their Epic or PayPal accounts. The punchline is the sudden realization that Epic Games may have obtained the deadname from the person’s bank or another hidden source, making the situation feel invasive and alarming.
