Alas, I do think the one I got was fake, it was mildly like this but had asked for my email and password immediately afterwards and what console I played on. It also had a different color every page.
That does sound dodgy! We will never ask for your password in a survey.
I got this email back in season 4, I do believe it’s fake my dude
It is good to be on the lookout for fake surveys! However, I can confirm this one is real.
We send this out to a representative sample of players and ask that people don't share the links as each link is unique for that person.
Can I have a link? Or is this a random selection thing?
Yes, our surveys go out to a representative sample of our population. Each link is made especially for the player receiving it, so we ask for folks to not share.

I don’t have imgur so I don’t have a screenshot, they asked how long I’ve been playing video games (not especially suspicious but may be trying to guess my age), also asked how many consoles I have access to and how many members are in my family (might me trying to find out if the risk is worth the reward). The email is [email protected] which I know is epics email, but I don’t know if they’ve got one of those weird characters that looks exactly like and English letter but it still counts as different, I don’t know, I just want to be safe.
Hey! This is an official survey. We send them out ever so often and you can find out more about what we do and why we send these here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/9rdsmj/epic_games_official_surveys_user_experience/
As a heads up we ask that you don't share survey links. Each one is unique to the person that receives it.

One of the very first questions is what zone you are in. Hopefully they will take more consideration to those in canny and twine.
The sample is sent to a range of people of all experience levels in order to get a good representative sample. We then break the data out by experience levels when looking into the results.
People who are more experienced tend to fill in surveys more often, so we include that little bit of text about "only played once" to try to encourage the less experienced folks to also open up the survey.
The link for the survey is possibly linked to game activity data for that person, meaning they actually can see the link between certain feedback. (That's at least how I'd organise the data, load in player stats, make them anonymous and link them to a unique url, then send out the url for the survey). The mail however is standardised so they have to include that part for those play once and quit people. Until you get feedback you don't really know why they quit and if there is anything within reason that can be improved there.
You are 100% right.
