The leaker and so clarified that the response didn't mean to "ask for coin."

"Past 'price' I meant all of the risks involved with making some sensitive info public. I have not and volition not receive whatsoever payment whatsoever to share the sensitive info," the dataminer said.

When asked about obtaining the information, the dataminer responded as follows:
"Epic uses AES keys to encrypt most of their servers. When the correct AES key has been found and the encryption lock has been bypassed, some info that is supposed to be bachelor to developers becomes visible in an early preview of EGS storefront."
