I can't use Epic because of their age verification and poor customer service, so this checks out.
Can't browse the store because games are blocked without age verification. Tried to verify my age and the service they use kept returning an error. Reached out to support and got a chat bot that tried to tell me I needed to clear my browser cache for it to work. Obviously made no difference because it's the third party website that's broken. Had to argue with it for five minutes until I started swearing at it for it to connect me to a human. The human emailed me and it was incomprehensible broken English, they clearly didn't understand what I was trying to say to them so I just gave up and said "guess I'm never using epic again."
Despite being over 30 and having multiple 18+ games btw
