Well if they can turn [email protected] into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.

They can. That's literally what data brokers do.

The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.

But it wasn't worthless to Epic, who potentially sold it, active address or not. It doesn't really matter what happens with it further down the chain after that sale. The point is that simply signing up for an account, even with fake credentials, does give Epic something. Not a lot, but something.
