Not really, the world warned Epic that what they were doing was putting users security at risk, and that hundreds of thousands of kids that don't appreciate the value of security would be at risk by their move (which put profit above security). Epic didn't care, and carried on regardless.

Google found the flaw, told epic, gave them 7 days to sort their shite out, monitored adoption rates of the patch and then went public in a "told you so" manner.

All perfectly normal and no different to what Microsoft, Apple or any other company would have done, and all perfectly in compliance with ISO/IEC 29147:2014
