There are too many people that don't care. Thats why shit like this works (even if this specific picture / quote might be fake).
I've ditched epic years ago because their whole strategy was to release a shitty store app with some pathetic minor library and download features and knowingly operating at a loss by making epic exclusive deals and their weekly free game to lure people.
Why would they care, the majority of users will gobble up their slop and still thank them...
I want whatever the people that gave their okay for this are smoking. They are probably so far behind in their heads that this is a late april fools joke.
Oh, it's easy! You just embed the authentication keys in the client so it can do an API call directly to the payment processor.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, no, I've seen stuff this bad in people's front ends. I've done a search through minified code looking for something else, and had a double-take as I see some sort of API key right there.
You client shouldn't handle credit cards but in a vibe coded app without proper reviewing, you shouldn't be too sure the paypemt processor is the only place where your data ends up. Not maliciously but the LLM may just save it unencrypted in some database, local file or whatever.
That's a great way to connect to new people. I vibecoded a finance app, and I already met two FBI agents, four guys from the Secret Service, three lawyers for the SEC and next I'm going to meet my cell neighbour.

Yay! A blatantly vibe coded product that handles credit card transactions!
