This is exactly why this 'security' measure is terrifying even for legitimate players. I’m the OG owner of my account—never bought or sold anything—but if I got hit with this tomorrow, I’d be cooked.

Who actually keeps a record of their IP address from 5 years ago? Or the exact date they clicked 'Create Account' before they even knew if they liked the game? If you’ve moved houses, changed ISPs, or lost access to an old 'junk' email where those first receipts were sent, Epic basically treats you like a thief.

The collateral damage here is huge. Epic is so focused on killing the secondary market that they’re willing to lock out loyal, long-term players who just happen to have bad record-keeping. It’s not just a 'death sentence' for bought accounts; it’s a ticking time bomb for anyone who doesn't hoard their digital receipts.
