How Untitled Goose Game became a real video game

The Epic Store won't allow me to create an account because I was a victim of reverse identity theft (https://www.xkcd.com/1279/) years ago. I guess Epic doesn't want me buying this or any other game from them.

Too bad this game is only available there.

If someone else registered with an email address you actually own, why not just reset the password?

I'm guessing you wouldn't be screwing over whoever registered the account, since presumably they wouldn't have had a chance to validate their (your) email address.

For gmail addresses, I usually attempt to solve duplicate email detection by adding either a + string or throwing in random periods. So you could try `[email protected]` and `[email protected]` and see if any of those work.

Unfortunately or fortunately gmail essentially ignores added or removed predomain dots. So [email protected] is the same as [email protected].

I have gotten emails from gmail forgetting to pin in my middle initials with periods.
