Fortnite player slams Epic Games for \u201cscamming\u201d them over Rocket League credits Epic GamesA Fortnite player has been left furious as they believe they have been \u201cscammed\u201d by Epic Games and their customer service after not receiving Rocket League credits from purchasing Fortnite Crew. With Fortnite and Rocket League both being developed by Epic Games, it was only natural that the racing game mode added in Chapter 5 was part of a direct collaboration. Rocket Racing was added as a typical arcade-style racing game, complete with all-new car skins in the Item Shop, which can also be transferred from Rocket League by linking your Epic accounts. Players have surged into each game since the Chapter 5 update, where Epic Games also gives players specific in-game benefits for both games by purchasing their Fortnite Crew membership. However, a Fortnite player has been left outraged after dealing with Epic Games\u2019 customer service who told them that their rewards for purchasing Fortnite Crew in Rocket League had already been granted. Fortnite player blasts Epic Games over \u201cscamming\u201d them out of Rocket League credits The player Visibile-Ad1313 asked: \u201cEpic Games just scammed me. Anyone got any advice?\u201d As they showed a number of screenshots of them dealing with the developer\u2019s customer service live chat. They explained: \u201cI bought the Fortnite Crew and I was supposed to receive 1,000 credits for Rocket League, since I already owned the Rocket Pass.\u201d After the back and forth and investigation into the player\u2019s account, the Epic employee closed the case and ended by confirming: \u201cwe can see that the rewards have been already granted.\u201d Fellow players flooded in to slam Epic Games for the handling of the situation: \u201cThis is typical trash customer service. They don\u2019t know anything about their systems and can\u2019t actually problem solve.\u201d As the OP replied: \u201cYep. When I was talking with the person I could just tell they weren\u2019t sure of what they were doing. They didn\u2019t even bother to figure out the issue,\u201d as others stated they were \u201cstarting to think they\u2019re bots.\u201d Others suggested solutions, such as asking for their manager or \u201cwhen this happens just accept that the person is an idiot, Then fill out the post-tech support help survey. Someone will call you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
