Apparently I'm using Epic's store too frequently by grabbing the free games, or so it tells me. Doesn't even help if I try using my mobile connection, which should definitely have a different IP address, so Epic even more dumb than usual, I guess.

What do you mean Epic knows? Have you been prompted with a message or what? I haven't seen anything, but I haven't picked all the games.

Also, if you're using your account, it shouldn't matter if you're picking the games from your PC or your phone, right? It's still the same account.

I don't think I said or implied anything about knowing, so not sure what you mean. But yeah, I was logged out for some reason once I opened the site, and trying to log in displayed that error before even letting me enter my password. Turns out there was a major issue with Epic logins anyway, so just Epic being Epic, I guess - it's all good now, and I have one more free game I'll probably never play.

Why I mentioned the mobile thing in the first place is that perhaps someone had the same IP adress at same point and had been doing something Epic didn't like (login attemps, DoS attacks, etc.), so I figured it should work on my phone, since it's a different IP address. Didn't help, but a major issue with logins in general certainly explains my trouble.

What lol

Never heard of this happening before.

Have you tried clearing your cache or restarting the browser and trying it again?

Nah, it seems to have been an issue on Epic's part after all. Well that's what I suspected from the beginning anyway, but I guess it wasn't just me, so even worse than I thought. It's all good now though.
