    1. I can’t not buy there games any harder than I already do. Seriously… screw those guys.

    2. Apart from all that, why is life insurance tied to your job? If he continues paying they shouldn’t terminate it, but I guess scummy practices… Anyway, whatever it was in this particular case, Epic should make a pledge to cover that.

    3. I think we need to look at the other side the issue too, why would someone with a termnally ill sickness needs life insurance and can’t be helped by it’s own state (i mean, country, not state as in particular)?

      Not trying to take the blame off Epic, just saying that a govt should be there to give you safety in case shitty companies do shitty things.

      Not in america i guess

    4. I try my best to not give those scumbags my money. I’ve hated them since they ruined gears of war

      Hopefully this article puts Epic on blast enough they reverse course because this is egregious. I’m not gonna act like I’m a saint but this is an evilness I could never understand. Jesus, man

    6. Tugging at those heartstrings, but everyone should buy life insurance if they have someone important in their life. Some companies will offer smaller policies, but if you’re young it’s quite inexpensive to get a policy. The longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes (which makes sense).

      I pay $35/month, and my wife will get $250K if I die.
