[h=1]Epic Games Store suffers outage alongside Fortnite’s big black hole event[/h]

PC gamers are reporting problems with the Epic Games Store, saying that they can’t log in to the service to play titles through Epic’s launcher. According to Epic Games’ status page, its servers are experiencing a “minor service outage” and that the Epic Games Store is suffering from a “partial outage.”
As for Fortnite, Epic’s flagship game, services like logins, matchmaking, and voice chat are experiencing an “anomaly.” Which is somewhat ironic, given that Fortnite Battle Royale isn’t playable right now by design. A cataclysmic event occurred in the game around 2 p.m. ET, during which a black hole absorbed the entire Fortnite Battle Royale island map, leaving nothing behind. Players logging into the game will only see a black hole at the center of their screen.
On Twitter, Epic Games acknowledged the outage.
“We are aware that some folks are unable to login to the Epic Games launcher and are working on getting the service back to normal,” the company said. “As a work around, you can elect to skip login to access games that don’t require you to be online.”
The outage on the Epic Games Store is likely due to a crush of traffic for Fortnite, as players dive in to check out the end of season 10. There’s no telling when Fortnite will return from its black hole vacation, but hopefully other services will be restored when things calm down.

I can easily see myself replaying the Arkham games, Alan Wake games, and the most recent Wolf Among Us before it's sequel starts releasing.
But yeah, most of them are just populating a list, nothing more
I would've totally expected this attitude from Chandoo back in the day. "Meh who cares about all these old games I've already played and a bunch of indies I'm never gonna play". Times have changed though

I bought Division 2 to avail the second sticker. Went back and they changed the price of World War Z from $10 to $15. Still great offer and looking forward to free games in coming weeks.

The Epic Games Store’s first Holiday Sale is underway right now, and ends on Jan. 1, 2020 at this time. The digital storefront is also offering 12 days of free games, also beginning today, to entice people to check in every day of the sale.
During the 12 Days of Free Games, each game will be available only for 24 hours. But if claimed during that time, it’s yours to keep and play forever. The first title in the promotion is Into the Breach, which made No. 7 on our list of Games of the Year for 2018. Into the Breach is a turn-based strategy game with puzzle elements by Subset Games, the makers of FTL.

Elsewhere, Epic is offering discounts of up to 75% on its inventory. Big names and new releases on sale include Borderlands 3 for $36.99; Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for $49.79; Red Dead Redemption 2 for $47.99; Control for $40.19; The Outer Worlds for $44.99, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 for $14.99 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint for $23.99. Many more titles from Ubisoft’s back catalog are also on sale.
Additionally, Epic is offering everyone a $10 discount, and if they use it to buy from a list of eligible games, they’ll get another $10 coupon good toward anything. “Eligible games,” for the first coupon, means anything that is $14.99 or more, excluding pre-orders, season passes, DLC or other in-game purchases (basically, a full title costing $14.99 or more).

Add 20 years into your age. Congrats you are in Playstation 8 era. Probably a VR streaming headset in a form of glasses.

S Shehryar89:Hi any repair shop for Nintendo Switch in Isb/ Rwp? The console is not charging. Anybody? Who can help in this regard.

EternalBlizzard:
Why is everybody so hyped up about this overrated piece of trash called unicorn overlord -
faraany3k:
I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

Necrokiller:
"All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."
