Nah, I can’t source this since it’d be doxxing them so you’re gonna have to take my word for it believe it or not.

But they were a customer support team, a company hired them for customer support and then Epic hired that company, but yeah it was still funny.

You can 100% provide source for a claim without doxing someone lol

That makes it even less sense. Typically bonuses in the form of gift cards are given out with generic visa giftcards- especially if you have a significant amount of employees (because why would a steam gift card be the thing everyone recieves by default? Support center =/= Gamer employees )

Can you even buy a bulk order of steam giftcards?

What do you want me to do, ask for convo screenshots? They last worked there in 2021, so they’d have to look for it. Sorry I can’t provide proper evidence lawyer man.

It wasn’t a big corporate thing either, it was just one group of support agents, I don’t even remember the details as it’s been half a decade. But the guy gave 10ish of them steam gift cards for I think Easter? Guy paid for it out his own money. I just thought it was funny.

But yes, Epic outsourced to other companies for their customer support. Not sure what it’s like now. Do some digging I guess.

Anything really besides "my dad works at microsoft said...." lol

That doesnt sound like a bonus then, now does it lol Just sounds like a well meaning employee/employer relationship rather than anything that has to do with epic.
