Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I wish the people who flipped when they heard that UE4 was "exclusively targeting the next console generation" would acknowledge now what was obvious all along... that the phrase simply meant that as far as consoles go, the current ones are too wimpy. I'm not holding my breath though. They are quite happy being betrayed.

And I tend to agree to a specific point. The part where I don't agree is if it's poorly made.
I guess you haven't been to the Epic forums
On your own forums I'd expect the first 500 questions to be exactly that.
Looks like Epic might be considering always on DRM for this game. Guess we know why they decided to make this game a PC exclusive (besides the fact they don't think consoles are ready for UE4 yet).

Probably microtransactions for sure, not sure about teh others until I see them announce it.

All I have to say is, if Fortnite is not a Steamworks game with all the features that Steam provides, Epic is losing the plot. Here's to hoping they show us they still "get" the PC gaming community.
And if this game contains GFWL.......................................................

Yes, please leave it as a choice.
Steam means buying boxes that can only be accessed while inside a cage. The cage has ads on the gate. The box you paid for gets shackled to the cage. The cage gate seemingly only opens some of the time should the cage be unable to communicate with its manufacturer via an Internet gateway.
The cage may eventually rust, the creators of the box may break ties with the manufacturer of this type of cage, and force your box to be moved to a different cage, leaving the contents of the box (the game state changes) back in the original cage. (That last part was based on a story told to me by someone who experienced the EA Origin thing with Steam.)
It's kind of crappy, yes.
Does it come with extremely irritating/useless bloatware? No.
No, thanks. I want convenience, achievements, tight steam leaderboards integration, VAC, ease of inviting to and joining games, steam workshop, cloud saves, working voice chat. Any other option can, frankly, just screw off. If they try to go standalone, they won't integrate as deeply as they need to out of concern for the people who don't buy on Steam. I am honestly not interested in that at all.
Fun times. We won't buy it if it uses Steam integration, you won't buy it if it doesn't.
