Eh, credit card details being stolen is basically inconsequential these days. Usually your bank will catch any illegal uses and stop them, and if they don't all it takes is a single call and it'll be taken care of.
In cases like this though, it's pretty much never your actual credit card details, but a token. That token is used by the store to charge your card, but it's 100% useless to anyone else. Epic likely never even see your credit card details, they'd just go directly to the payment merchant who then give epic a token.
