ah.... "Epic Online Services (EOS) are free, cross-platform services for multiplayer games. EOS is quick to install into your game..."
thanks!
so it's something The Fun Pimps are using as anti-piracy authentication and all those steam achievement thangies. got it.
Love their "quick to install", but they appear to have left out "painstaking to debug and get right". 🤡
If Epic or Steam had an ounce of entrepreneurial cleverness, they'd parlay this authentication biz into a general authurization/verification service that supported e-wallets and on-line payment systems. They've already got a captured client base of gamers, they could have the entire world. They're just not thinking big enough.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait for Elon to get X up and running, assuming his anti-compete clause has run out after he sold paypal....
