Xsolla Capital partners with Epic to put up $50M Unreal dev fund

The application was 2 to 3 hours worth of extremely personal info, seemingly just "collected and stored". The rep contacted me several times regarding only sales pitchs, at first misleading, where I thought this was the result of my application.

It's as if I was being lured into a sales contract when it was coincidental timing regarding my application. I'm glad I'm good at reading contracts. Some people out there may be signing their life away.

I've never read about one company that actually got the funding.. So what are they doing with this info collected? Why would they stop talking to you after sales pitch decline? Is the application truly just to give you this sales pitch if no other company was actually funded that I could find on Google? Getting funded is prestigious and you'll be all over press news if you were.

Not to mention the slimy tactics of telling me <any company I mention that SOUNDS like a competitor, but is actually an Xsolla partner> is going out of business to encourage me to go with them. Then non competitive rates to Stripe, reassuring the feeling of being lured.

And this is just what I CAN tell you. I'm not happy. No need to ask why I not happy just read my above reply - I feel like I'm probably spouting the same info
