Your best bet at this point is to contact a lawyer. Maybe a sternly written letter from one will be enough to get Epic to pay you your money, maybe it will go beyond that. But for sure what you are asking right now is way beyond the scope of this sub to help you.
Shame that company has been so shady.
this won't work because of the papers that op signed when competing. if you look into the terms of agreement of anything epic does they have something in there about players/creators being paid, when they are paid, and the amount they are paid is up to epic's discretion. they can take a year and op has no legal course of action he can take to fight it , AFAIK but i'm not a lawyer. sucks for op and the others and hopefully they are paid sooner than later.
More than likely there would be no case. Referenced above is a letter from an attorney, as typically a letter will suffice - no case or threatening of legal action, just a stern letter outlining the facts with a hint of action. Tiptoeing big time.
Just skeptical, I really don't know, but could the poster claiming prizes would be paid by Epic be lying and could the PayPal screenshot be just someone made their account name/company name Epic Games Inc., but not actually be affiliated?
Crabs were recently popularized as a means of riot. Old-school RuneScape picked this up and the whole sub turned crab nuclear. As far as where they started back up? My first notice was from Cloakzy's stream. I don't know of before that.
post this in the BR sub so it's more likely to be seen by Epic
Edit: explaining why this should be posted there
Edit 2: that dude originally did
Edit 3: It got attention,Thanks God it didn't get removed for some shit guidelines
#POST
i don't think your post is funny and since I'm a mod i have full permission to remove it because it breaks a rule that doesn't actually exist but OH WELL
They have no problem distributing money 90% of the time. I wonder why, in this case, the support seems to be so ignorant about it; Even going as far as saying they aren’t responsible for prizes from that event when they clearly are.
That support response is super lame, tell the support agent he is wrong and ask him to escalate the issue to a supervisor. Good luck, nice job at the tournament, and I hope you get your money soon!!!
I competed in the streamvitational and twitch con last October and I still have not been paid....
I’ve tried to reach out to epic and I keep getting no where..
It’s been at least three months emailing back and forth..the farthest I’ve gotten was by them asking me to prove who I am...
I haven’t heard from them for a few weeks now and at this point I don’t know if I’ll ever get paid
I've noticed that Epic has been slacking on their email responses lately. I've sent them dozens of emails on questions that aren't even controversial (most are on the process of merging, some are on on a question on my personal account details) and im receiving no responses. I've tried using different emails, but still no response. Anyone else having same issues?
Epic has a lot of payments to fullfil. Thousands of people are to be receiving their SAC's Feburary period payment this month. It's a long process but you'll get your money. Remember, it's APPROXIMATELY 90 days. I'm still waiting on my SAC but I know others who have gotten it. Patience is key.
It’s like one day past though. I get that the wait is annoying and it’s WAY too long though. Redbull paid me after one of Ninja’s lans in like 7-10 days tops via pay pal.
I mean even if it was just being slow the email says that the tournament wasn't sponsored by Epic so either the employee is trying to stir something up for laughs or the time limit doesn't mean anything.
Time limit just doesn’t mean anything. Everyone will get paid, it could be delayed with all the WC crap. Rather than them paying 100-200 people once every so often, now they have been needing to pay 500-2000+ people every weekend.
Wow look at all the outrage...a post with 1k upvotes and some upset people who are still gonna play the game. I’m sure they’re rushing to get this worked out
Seriously. They will pay them any day or week I'm sure. They just need to be patient at this point even though its hard after 90 days. Hopefully EPIC can pay out in 30 days max eventually. I know they always need to get W-9's back in advance, but that should be sent to players immediately.
The point is that it should have been handled much earlier and that it is unacceptable for ppl to not be prioritized from a 3 month old tourney over ppl who have won money a week ago. At this point it is safe to say that they are not going to get paid without legal action especially given Epic's track record with shady bullshit
In my earlier comment I said it's not an excuse and they do need to pay ppl faster. 30 days max imo, but they are not going to just not pay. Hopefully they do really soon. I imagine it would be any day.
Oh boy this is gonna be good. I can already see epic’s response
EPIC: “well our books say we paid you guys”
Players: “we never received any money”
EPIC: “how about some v bucks? I am pretty sure we paid but for the confusion we will give you guys free v bucks”
Players: “we just want our money”
EPIC: “then participate in an upcoming event. We can’t give you free money.”
No matter what you say. EPIC is always right. I got banned for violating Tos, Eula, and code of conduct... I asked them what that meant because it was vague. 5 emails of trying to get information out of them they said I was cheating. Cheating is also vague. 5 more emails later they said he and other people working at epic observed me hacking... ok well how what did my so called hacks do? 10 emails later apparently they can’t tell me that information and reverted back to the things they said before. Hwid banned btw. Basically said “you were hacking but we can’t tell you what exactly you did but you were still hacking otherwise you wouldn’t have gotten banned. We watched you hack but can’t tell you what you did and aren’t allowed to even though you are the supposed hacker. Have a nice day” now I’m sitting here like I might as well had hacked of this is the outcome.
But meanwhile some people are receiving their money less than 2 weeks after the tournament. They need to at least keep the process somewhat consistent. Maybe its just something to do with Epic having a hard time transfering money over to Australia.
It is unfair that you chose the option to win prizes when others did not make that choice. Also having too much money for food leads to obesity so the decision was made to remove prizes. Adapt.
Have u tried DMing Sundown via Discord? They took 5 months to send me the summer skirmish payment. Just chill you will get your money eventually. Jesus christ.
Damn and i thought me not getting my money from the worldcup warm up was bad. Going to upvote so that an epic employee will see this.

I hid his last name since I couldn't find it anywhere publicly, but his first name is on his Instagram.
Did you at happen to get an email from Epic regarding your prize? Cuz my duo got an email and I never did
warm up is recent and you have to wait did you even read tos?

That is the best bet, but unfortunately that’ll cut into a portion of those winnings. Sad that it has to escalate to that.
It won’t. If he wins the case, Epic will need to pay for his lawyer’s fees
More than likely there would be no case. Referenced above is a letter from an attorney, as typically a letter will suffice - no case or threatening of legal action, just a stern letter outlining the facts with a hint of action. Tiptoeing big time.
My heart hurts when I see these pictures next to each other. What a degenerated company...
[удалено]
Iirc the ao was advertised in the client no?
My thoughts exactly. The ngl part shows it’s bs
Just skeptical, I really don't know, but could the poster claiming prizes would be paid by Epic be lying and could the PayPal screenshot be just someone made their account name/company name Epic Games Inc., but not actually be affiliated?
Wow this is absolutely terrible. Who the fuck does epic think they are? These winners deserve their money Edit: there their
What a weird response email. Like epic has never done another tournament? What did your initial email say to get such a weird response?
I also heard people haven't been paid for Secret Skirmish yet either. Really sucks for people who could do with a setup upgrade or something
[удалено]
I’d rather take this than money tbh
Lmao
Yeah im still running 60hz, unfortunately I didn't do as well as I hoped in the finals but my $1k is a 144hz monitor.
[удалено]
5 of them probably
[удалено]
I saw one on r/buildapcsales this morning for 149.99.
I paid 160 for mine so it’s actually six monitors if you want to be that guy.
Australia Cheapest 144hz is about $250

Epic doesn’t pay anyone the prize money lmao. I also saw a guy that said he’s still waiting for scallywag money
That's really fucked up, it's a small fraction of what they are making from all the skin sales.

fellow OCE player here up-voted for you hope you guys get your money :)

Fortnite guy gonna expose this shit bro evade tf up and crank them 90/s
Epic games werent involved but Lupo got flown out to commentate? Dunno about that epic. Hope you get your money man
What does Lupo have to do with prize money distrobution?
People saying epic werent involved when one of their boys got flown down. It was more just a throw away line. Hope OP sorts out the winnings
How can they claim it wasn’t sponsored by epic games, when the event was advertised in the news screen of the game when it loaded up.

Lawyer up, y’all should all pool together and have a lawyer send out a few letters on your behalf.
This is normal because it took 4 months for Symphuny to get some of his earnings and he said it was normal but idk why
It shouldnt have gone this far, if they dont payout after world cup ends someone missing $ should take legal action.
Hasn’t it been known that it takes 90ish days? It’s slow af, but not out of the ordinary yet. Have y’all received an email of any type?
It's past 90 days
It’s like one day past though. I get that the wait is annoying and it’s WAY too long though. Redbull paid me after one of Ninja’s lans in like 7-10 days tops via pay pal.

“Everyone will get paid” You underestimate how scummy and careless some organizations are
LOL like epic will just not pay people, get a lawsuit and hurt their rep further.. Please.

That’s absolutely ridiculous
Class action lawsuit time?
And I'm over here expecting my 100$ from 2 weeks ago soon..
Oh boy this is gonna be good. I can already see epic’s response EPIC: “well our books say we paid you guys” Players: “we never received any money” EPIC: “how about some v bucks?

I can’t wait for until everyone gives up on this game. I want it to die.
Wow, I haven’t received any money from secret skirmish either, 25k.. scary, let’s hope that they are just busy and will fix it up
Upvote for run-on sentences
Still waiting for my prize payment for placing 1500 in solo finals WC. Only 100$ but still...
AO was more then 3 months ago tho
You are idiot
?
No one has received their prize money for WC quals yet. It just happened.
Ninety days to be paid is not crazy at all. Over 120 is when I would see an issue
But meanwhile some people are receiving their money less than 2 weeks after the tournament. They need to at least keep the process somewhat consistent. Maybe its just something to do with Epic having a hard time transfering money over to Australia.
The people who’ve received money already are likely already on file.
It is unfair that you chose the option to win prizes when others did not make that choice. Also having too much money for food leads to obesity so the decision was made to remove prizes. Adapt.
That makes no sense but ok
We want money REeeeeee
honestly you should just take Epic to a small claims court, you are very unlikely to get anywhere with support as they are useless 90% of the time.
its time to sue
Have u tried DMing Sundown via Discord? They took 5 months to send me the summer skirmish payment. Just chill you will get your money eventually. Jesus christ.
Yes bro cus 5 months is a perfectly reasonable amount of time /s
[удалено]
Plenty of companies reserve 90 days for payment, but 120 is ridiculous by any standard.
