Epic wants your phone number now

>Why are Chinks so desperate to steal your personal info?
Because they just onsell it to all the desperate russian fucks who send out spam and phishing texts in the hopes of finding a whale.

>2FA requires a phone number
Imagine being this technically inept. Imagine being a zoomer.

Waiting for epicniggers to try and spin this into a good thing

It's still weird that they're got this bizarre system that they're forcing. Imagine if Steam did this shit.

Notice how the phone number is optional.

My phone number is basically public information at this point from the amount of times /vp/ has doxxed me

They do it's called Steam Guard and it's the same as email authentication that Epic uses.

EGS two-factor authentication goes through the email address already tied to your account.

Or, you know, use an authenticator app

Shills are quick off the mark on this one, but I don't think they've been given a script yet.

B-but steam doesn't work this time because it's optional.

????

Cant you like, be cheeky and use a google number?

>bizarre system
What year are you retards living any? Most shit has 2FA now.

>It's still weird
It's not weird at all. When Epic does free game promotions they pay the sale price of every free copy to the dev, so they don't lose money by opting to do giveaways.

It's logical that they would want to stop or at least slow down as many people as possible from taking the freebies (Including people who make dozens or hundreds of accounts to suck up free games and sell the account later when it's no longer free) so it costs them less money.

of course you can, because this shit is optional and there to protect whales, same as the steamguard.

this shit is the reason I can't sell my cards
I have like $10 of cards but it stays on hold for 15 days if you don't use mobile authenticator

Steam Guard is optional.

So is getting free games.

i sell my cards just fine without touching steam guard

pretty sure you need steam guard to use the market

if the price of a card is 1 buck or less you can sell instantly without mobile
if you have different currency, then the equivalent of 1 buck, convert in google

yeah, you just wait a month between saying "sell this shit" and steam saying "okay"

Who the fuck uses the market?

I don't need to enable 2FA to get games on Steam.

So just wait 15 days retard

by the time the card will have changed price, unless it's a 3cent card

no. they sell within the week since i always lowball them by a few cents.

Unlike valve they allow use Authy for 2fa. Dumb steamnigger faggot lol.

You don't need to enable 2FA to get games on Epic's store either, bro.

Why wouldn't you have Steam Guard on?

>free indie shit

Every 2FA I've seen requires a phone number. Please explain your retarded fucking comment.

Are there any cards worth more than that? I've got 14 pages of the fucking things and every single one is like $0.04.

>can be found IN YOUR MOBILE DEVICE APP STORE
IT'S FOR MOBILE FUCKING DEVICES YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING RETARD. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT "TWO-PARTY AUTHENTICATION" IS THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT SOURCE OF AUTHENTICATION THAN YOUR PC YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

Epic gave up. Since Blands 3 their lineup has been so sad that not even shills can work with it.

Did you read OP's post?

You couldn't bother to scroll down 2 more comments before making this post? It's not like Google Authenticator et al. are new either.

That's exclusively for their weekly free games, you can still get games without 2FA.

yes some cards are worth like 0.10 or more, usually expensive games like monster hunter world
the higher I got recently was like 0.25 on an obscure game

FREE games, you fucking illiterate

Hey fuck you I also looked that way when I got Just Cause 4 for free.

Wait, people actually BUY games from EGS? kek, here I thought people just kept that shit installed to claim a free game every week they'd never play (or for Fortnite).

I got $1.60 on a silver foil card

Here is the link to the official thing if you want proof:

Made my own thread but no one cared so...

you've got bigger problems to worry about then user

I can't see how you're calling other people idiots or retards when you're the one that thinks you need a phone number to use a mobile device.

oh shit nigger halfway to a cup of coffee

I feel like the reason for all the 2FA shit surrounding steam trading is for those CSGO skins that sell for hundreds of dollars. I honestly forgot I even had the ability to sell trading cards until this thread.

What are they gonna do, call me?
Hell most of you might actually want to go for it so you get a call every now that way you can pretend like you have somebody in you lives lmao.

I know a dude who buys from them. That said he works for a western company based there so I assume he's getting paid on the sly.

How about sending codes to email? These authentication apps dont ask your phone number either.
