2. How to Uninstall Epic Games Launcher?

This is one of the most common Epic Games FAQs across various forums including the Unreal Engine forum, Reddit, and Quora. While the launcher offers gamers a platform to play Epic Games Fornite and other games, there have been numerous launcher complaints.  The main Epic Games launcher complaint is that reviewers are not able to completely uninstall the launcher from their computers yet it takes up quite a bit of computer space. Even when they delete the Epic Games Launcher source file, the launcher continues to run. Others complained that even when they deleted their Epic Games account, the launcher continued to run.

In response to this question on the Unreal Engine forum, one of the participants suggested an Epic Games Launcher uninstall solution for windows users. To completely uninstall the launcher, a user has to go to the “program and features” section of the Windows control panel. Then, find the launcher folder and delete it manually.

Another participant advised Mac users to manually delete the Epic launcher files from all directories: Application support, Caches, Preferences, Logs, and Cookies.

In this section, we look at Epic Games store reviews to find out what previous customers’ experiences have been. On PissedConsumer the rating is 2.3, and the top Epic Games complaints include:

Poor customer service

While some customers complained that they couldn’t find an Epic Games phone number to call, some of those who found it expressed frustration in not being able to get through to customer service. Yet, some complained that even though they got through to an Epic Games customer service representative, they did not get the needed help. The unreachable customer support has resulted in some people being wary of Epic Games “glitches”.

For instance, in Epic Games review #1900761, the customer reported that they unexplainably lost all their skins, back bling, and gliders. Suspecting that they had been hacked, they contacted customer support for help. While they got some instructions on how to reconnect to their previous account, they did not get back all their slings, V-bucks, gliders, and progress.

I lost all of my skins, back blings, gliders, etc. I submitted a request like this at the beginning of March and received two emails from Hector and Christopher…

… However, when I was logged back in, I still did not have my full progress back…

Being hacked and loss of V-bucks

This is one of the top complaints about the company. Several Epic Games user reviews indicate that many customers had been hacked. As a result, they lost their V-bucks and their progress, and someone else controls the game. 

For example, in Epic Games review #3616552, the customer reported that their account had been hacked and someone has changed their skin and used all the V-bucks. Luckily, this story has a happy ending as the company fixed the issues and apologized to the user.

Unexplained account deletion

In some cases, customers were logged out of their accounts and the accounts were deleted.

However, several players have positively reviewed Epicgames.com (e.g. review #1857104). These customers reported that they were satisfied with the wide range of games available in the store including the Epic Games free games list and that the games are fun to play.

4. How to Refund a Game on Epic Games?

In many Epic Games reviews, customers request a refund. Some customers referred to Epic Games scam because of issues such as wrongful billing and V-bucks disappearing before they could use them.

For instance, in Epic Games review #1600045, a customer complains about the following:

This is a joke, do NOT give moeny to this game or any epic games its a scam...

Another reviewer (review #3703068) also brings up a concern, explaining how they've purchased V-bucks and didn't receive them on their account.

I bought $100 worth of v bucks and I didnt get them because this game is A scam for children...

Other players also reported difficulty getting through to the Epic Games phone number when trying to get assistance. Therefore, one of the top Epic Games FAQs is how to return a game for a refund.

According to the Epic Games refund policy,  you can return any Epic game for a full refund within 14 days of buying it as long as you have not played it for more than two hours.  The Epic Games refund terms stipulate that you will get a refund for both in-app and downloadable content bought on their store. However, for a game to be eligible for a refund, you must have bought it on an Epic Games Store and the game must not have been modified or transferred to another person.

You can also cancel a preorder for a full refund as long as the game has not been released yet. Once the game has been released, you can submit your Epic Games refund request within 14 days as long as you have not consumed it for more than 2 hours.

If a product goes on sale after you have purchased it, you can refund it for its initial purchase price and then repurchase it for the sale price. The 14 days and 2 hours caveat applies in this case too.

Epic Games Inc. states that they have the discretion to determine whether you have abused any refund terms and consequently not make a refund.

The procedure for initiating a refund request is provided in the Epic Store FAQs.  To do so, click on the “Contact Us” button inside your store and submit your Epic Games refund request. If your game is eligible for a refund, the full purchase price will be deposited through the payment method you used to make the purchase. However, you can request customer support to refund to an alternative method. Either way, the time taken for the refund to reflect will depend on your payment method.

5. How Do I Delete My Epic Games Account?

As evidenced in the Epic Games store reviews on various platforms, numerous customers feel frustrated with customer service, instances of hacking, and frequent cases of Epic Games downtime. Consequently, the reviews reveal that several customers want to find out how to delete Epic Games account.
