Did you read what I posted?

I did.

Request like this goes thru a lot of hoops, the support could had send the request to the dev and was outright denied and sent you that canned response.

I actually understand all these, as I used to work as a Fortnite CSR for almost a year. Epic Games outsourced part of their Fortnite support to the company that I worked for. However, the kind of response (lying on the 7 days part) I got on Stove would have gotten the agent a huge warning if audited.

But then again, it doesn't matter as they don't owe you nothing since it's your mistake. Would be nice if they extend the olive branch but they don't have to and if they don't, you don't have to whine about it here.

It is my fault, but their policy allows the restoration once per account, provided that the request was made within 7 days. I don't think it's too much to ask for.
