wow, it was similar, I’m running to check it out

epic changed the rules a few years ago, you can unlink the account but you can only relink to that same epic account, you cannot link to another epic account.

if you unlink an epic account from an xbox account it can be relinked but only to that same xbox account, epic accounts are locked to the first xbox account they link too. epic changed to this way early last year.

once an xbox account is linked in epic it is linked for good, you can unlink but can only relink back to the exact same epic account.
