[Urgent] Regarding the requirement for users to sign into Epic Games

Thank you for all the feedback on “Earth Defense Force 6.”

We are following them carefully and regarding one of the issues with the most feedback we'd like to share a message for all the users.

The EDF6 development team is currently reviewing/reassessing the requirement for users to sign in to their Epic Games account.

At this time, we are unable to provide specifics on how much time it will take to remove this requirement, but we will continue to work on it while we address current and future feedback.

Thank you

Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam will only need to sign into Epic once, say publishers in apology for "lack of advance notice"

Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam aren’t happy about having to sign into the Epic Games Store, it seems. The latest entry in the co-op ant-control shooter launched yesterday, and critics reckon it's a decent time. Still, it’s currently sitting at an angry red 'mostly negative' on Steam. In response, D3PUBLISHER have put out an apology statement, reassuring players that this third-party log in will only be required once.

Earth Defense Force 6, like the rest of the EDF series, is superbly wacky, kinetic, and imaginative. The co-op, arcade-style shooter is sadly becoming a relic, and I'm glad that Earth Defense Force is still alive - and still obliterating gigantic insectoid aliens en masse - in 2024. But despite its retro visuals and maximalist gunplay, the Earth Defense Force 6 Steam release has been marred by one particular technical wrinkle, similar to the PSN account linking snafu that scuppered the reputation of Helldivers 2. Currently lumbered with a 'very negative' rating on Valve's store, EDF 6 is having a tough launch day.
