In a series of tweets, Epic Games’ CEO Tim Sweeney commented on whether Tencent can have access to users’ data, future Epic Store exclusive games, when the store will open to indie developers, whether the company is planning to re-release some of its older titles and more.

As Sweeney noted, even though Tencent may have access to financial statements, it has no access to customer data.

Tencent has no access to customer data. The Terms of Service references data shared between Epic’s wholly owned international subsidiaries (which exist to process purchases and pay tax around the world). Tencent is an investor only and is not covered by that language.

Investors have access to Epic’s financial statements. For an example what’s in a company’s financial statement, look up EA’s financial statement online (it’s publicly available). Investors do not have access to Epic customer data.

Furthermore, Sweeney claimed that there wasn’t any Epic Games security breach (despite some reports that were surfaced earlier this year).

Epic Games login data has not been leaked. Rather, hackers use databases of email address and password combinations that were leaked from other sites, and attempt to login to Epic and other services using the same credentials. (Always use a unique password everywhere.)

Sweeney also stated that Epic is focusing on bringing more exclusives to the store that implementing new features to it. While Sweeney claimed that the team is building lots of new features, it is going full speed ahead on games without wait. And, as we’ve said numerous times, this is something that frustrated a lot of gamers as the store currently lacks major features.

Yes, Epic is investing heavily to bring free games and exclusives to the store to bring in new gamers and grow the store customer base. Simultaneously we’re building lots of features, but are going full speed ahead on games without waiting. That’s the essence of our strategy.

Regarding older Epic games, such as Unreal Tournament and Unreal, coming to the store, Sweeney said that the team is looking into it, though he could not confirm nor deny whether this will happen in the foreseeable future.

Making older Epic games available on the Epic Games store is completely logical and something we’re looking into in the background, but this isn’t coming shortly.

Last but not least, Sweeney said that the store will open to all small indie developers later in 2019.

Later in 2019, sorry we can’t move faster!
