Fuck I installed epic once since I wanted to try fortnite craze, but got bored and left it for a while. Uninstalled it when they went full nigger chink.
ill say it again, people are out here calling it chink spyware but still have the league client installed, which is owned by the same company. and then you also use discord to communicate..

>Epic swoops in and steals millions of steam users' data including purchased unreleased games that they used for strategic exclusivity deals and market research >this has been going on for at least a year, for everyone that ever opened the epic client like Fortnite zoomzooms and UE4 devs, before the store was even a thing devilish, now that's what I call a trojan horse
What the fuck I use unreal engine (without epic store until they gave out free subnautica) But then again discord is almost as bad... I knew I shouldn't have trusted chinks.
It's a stupid thing, but you have Pooh Bear taking with a Japanese accent instead of a Chinese one

>Valve carelessly leaves all this private information out in the open >People blame epic games for using it rather than Valve for leaving the info out in the open in the first place.
from leddit >I just went through the whole procedure of linking Steam to Epic via the Epic launcher so it can add friends and guess what, it didn't access that file once. Their entire justification of copying the file in their press response is for the friends functionality. And yet it isn't used during linking to Friends. Literally everything Tim and his goons said has been false so far
So. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this. >oh noes, now they know what games you buy and who your friends are and?
Joseph Ramirez
I can’t believe I helped my little brother install this on his account (he lives with me and uses my PC) so he could play Fortnite. Whatever, I can always just pirate the exclusives.
Jeremiah Murphy
yeah but why know my friend list? can they get my card info too? my password? can they acess data in my browsers? like my other passwords andbank data?
Yes to all of that. A lot of people with Epic accounts have been victims of identity theft and fraud shortly after downloading the client.

Millions of people downloaded and installed their spyware, a large percentage them also use steam because its the biggest game distribution platform on pc.
Their spyware is looking at the information from your steam account, your browsing history, and who knows what else to figure out what games (and who knows what else) you are likely to purchase. They figure out the games that the most people are likely to purchase and attempt to make them exclusive to their spyware platform. They do this in the hopes of overtaking steam as the primary global point of sale f

I wonder, if this is how they targeted niche games like Exodus and Phoenix Point.

Tim basically said he was sorry he got caught and said that he will keep doing the same and didn't really explain what he's doing copying and obfuscating the steam data.
Epic also launched a little paid article campaign today on PC Gamer with biased articles about it.
Parker Foster
Russia & China at literally tagteaming to disrupt the PC Gaming market purely for the sake of mining PII and yet shills still come out in defense of them, even on Yea Forums of all places. Sure feels like the vidya "master race" is all but a sham.

I hit submit by accident.
The primary point of sale for digital pc games. There are potentially billions of dollars in profits to be made for them. Epic isnt going to steal your credit card specifically, but who knows where the data ends up and who has access to it?
I sold my desktop in 20013 and I keep no personal information on my phone or anywhere on the internet. The whole fucking world is 50% retarded and 50% malicious. Stay woke.

imagine devoting 4+ hours a day of your life multiple times per week to fighting against a store for video games just because you don't want to have 2 programs running in the background
What do you mean believe? The localconfig.vdf file does contain that data and Epic does copy it and send it to their servers, these are facts.
Camden Ramirez

Isaiah Lopez

Bentley Roberts
People have yet to learn no one gives you shit for free. When other stores do they're just Steam keys so it has nothing to do with them, bu Epic is invested in getting customers to their proprietary store.
the first two parts of that is fact, the last part is unverified speculation by people who have a vested interest in epic doing poorly
the stretch that they know your steam friends means they might leak your credit card numbers is absurd

Wyatt Campbell
They also gather data from their users and have blatantly denied it. Friendly reminder that if it is free, you are the product. Besides, how do you think they made money before they got a store nobody uses? They sell user data.
If anything I imagine this will be a problem for them under EU law.
Ian Hall
if you don't know why, how can you claim it's fact that they're sending it over the network? if they were, it would be trivial for someone to have identified the packets through wireshark at this point

This is like if the only thing broad casted over seas were world star videos, and then the rest of the world thinks we’re a bunch of violent niggers. Quit playing into the propaganda machine and do some real looking around, bitch.
from the original reddit/resetera posts, the only actual security/privacy issue is that the launcher will make a backup of a steam file containing data about your steam friends, and epic sends the hashed ids of your friends back to their servers
anything else is rumor at this point

if you want people to take it seriously you're going to have to update the 33% of the image proving they're doing security properly on the web and the other 33% covering how windows works and has nothing to do with the launcher.

>/pol/ for literally no reason would you prefer if I say /x/ so that it doesn't offend you?
Asher Lopez
Why are you trying to force this narrative when not even your boss Tim denies that they do collect steam data? The question is how much data they steal and we do know they copy the entire file, what we don't know is what exactly they send and they made it purposefully hard to find out which heavily implies they are up to no good.
Benjamin White
>would this form of off topic shitposting in place of me having an argument offend you less? no, fuck off retard

Given discord's policies, assume anything said by any method on discord is completely public. There is NO encryption, and discord's privacy policy explicitly reserves the right to sell any information about you. All messages pass through their servers.
They also have a history of blatantly denying what they do in the past.

that's more like it - so far there were only accusations and now some real hard evidence. Software warfare, available on every consumer botnet-node in 2025
Knowing who's playing games defined as "anti chinese" is already a thing. They currently don't fuck up anyone who isn't of chinese decent too badly, unless they're in S.E. asia, but the've been expanding their shit rapidly.

Okay, I'll fall for the chink paranoia, Yea Forums. Even if it is just to play along. So how the fuck do I go about uninstalling the Epic Games installer? Is it really as simple as deleting its installation folder, or is it something convoluted like messing with the registry files?
>I'll fall for the chink paranoia you don't have to insert the racism into it. Epic using scummy tactics to collect steam user data its not supposed to have is 100% fact, and has nothing to do with chinks or china. its just Epic trying to gain a competitive edge, though illegally.

Faggot. I'm saying this because you guys accuse of it being a botnet. I was thinking that even if you delete the files, some of its data would still remain in the registry if this whole thing is true. Like I said, I'll play along. Give me details.

china has nothing to do with it. this is just capitalism at its finest. epic tried to illegally collect data on competitors in order to gain an advantage. not so china could have it.

CCP still has full access to entirety of Tencent's data, dumbass. Even if company want to use it one way, government has other ideas.
Andrew Nelson
Answer for what? Nothing he provided negate the fact that Chinese government can do whatever fuck it wants with Tencent and they don't give a single fuck about foreign investments.

you mean the boers, who are in turn in bed with the russians.
Bentley Rodriguez
well one of them is a /g/ shitpost full of complete misinfo that only proves that the epic launcher is a normal piece of software
steam uses all kinds of the typical tracking measure, just like epic and like so many other companies. What steam does not do is illegally spy on your data that belongs to its competitors. that is the only dirt on epic right now. everything else was just retards spreading misinfo to the tech illiterate.
you're right, an american in control of a corperation would never conduct a scummy business practice and/or potentially work with the government of the country the business is based
>chinese government doesn't give a fuck What does Tim Sweeney have to do with that?
Easton White
>dumb newfag bootlicker cant detect samefag because he is so engrossed trying to follow 1 user who is making him rage you know there are 300 posts in this thread and 111 unique posters? look above the argument you're having and you'll see me and others also posting. open your eyes chink
Dylan Phillips
learn reading comprehension dumb third worlder. i didn't excuse epic's scummy practices, did I? i just pointed out that there is still nothing that indicates that this has to do with china collecting your data, and in fact since all we've found is datamining of your steam data it supports the idea that Epic isn't controlled by china at all. they are using scummy practices for their own interests, not china's. otherwise we would have seen evidence of them collecting other data already.
Andrew Wright
I use amd tho
Dylan Miller
Hopefully the next mass shooting will be at epic management offices and Sweeney the swine house
Christopher Martin
He's trying to spread a damage control lie about Tencent not being the majority controlling stake in the company despite that being the case. Tim Sweeney is China's newest autonomous region.
They are literally collecting every bit of data on your machine, it accesses everything not just Steam directories and has already been proven by tests done by people in the previous threads and /g/. Retarded lying shill.
you seem incapable of handling 2 ideas at once, but everything you wrote doesnt count for shit under the statement "chinese government doesnt give a fuck". im not even saying that chinese government legitimately have a stake in this in reality, but that as a statement is true and has been true with plenty of examples for centuries ignoring that and making excuses is basically just pure autism.
Mason Miller
Half of those point are useless gimmicks that you use maybe once. Just list the important ones like >no reviews >no voice chat >no h-games >no controller-friendly mode >no linux support >no mac support >no local network gameplay streaming >no cloud saves >no backup feature >no third party key registration The last one alone should be a huge red flag.
Jaxon Harris

are you the same retarded shill in the first thread than denied all evidence almost immediately and then tried to derail the thread with 2 hours of autistic rage and semantics?
and as always, nobody will read your post chink chink chink

I'm guessing most of you are too young to remember when Origin launched. Feels like it.
This is just a rerun of that exact thing.
Austin Barnes
He's the same Chinese shill in every thread who spams things like "Proof?", "Source?", "But it's ok when Steam does it?", "DEBUNKED" to every single post. He follows a damage control script. You'll notice he rarely is able to deviate from it because he's not actually fluent in English.
Henry Walker
its a shame screencaps have died out cause the first thread was JUST that 1 guy damage controlling hard
Aaron Sanders
only confirming that you are a retard. oh no, i replied to more than one post at once for my own convenience and to your benefit by making it clear which posts itt are mine? must mean im the same retard from hours ago who also replied to multiple posts at once.
Nathan Adams
And they failed just the same as this is. Actually, scratch that, Epic is failing a thousand times harder. None of the games on their store have sold a single copy, it's a complete moneypit and with Fortnite dying rapidly they are becoming increasingly desperate and panicked.
Why does anybody care about your data being mined? As long as it doesn't hinder the performance of your system and you're not doing hyper illegal shit then why does it matter?
>Origin >Uplay >gog galaxy >battle.net launcher >Twitch launcher >Windows store >Bethesda launcher Among others

>just let them bro you got nothing to hide riiiight? just letting corporations do whatever they want is good for you as a consumer, they might lower your prices with all the money they get selling on your information
Robert Fisher
>B-BUT OTHER LAUNCHERS Oh I member alright. The difference is that Epic is pulling from Steam games that aren't their exclusivity just to force people to use their shady launcher. Every game Origin pulled from Steam it's EA owned. Which is the same shit Uplay did.
Liam Price
that's kind of hot
Daniel Harris
if you knew what data they were taking you wouldn't ask this, read the threads
Ryan Murphy
If you think their objective is to sell at this stage you are an idiot. Business 101 nowadays is make people use your product, income comes later. Why you do think they have been giving away all these free games? Is it to make you buy other games? No. Everyone knows that today you're not competing with other games as much as you are competing with people's time. You can't expect people to play a game and buy another, no time for that. No, they want you to install their launcher so their market and client base can grow, then they start offering more so you actually spend your money.
Jesus... it's not that hard.
Cooper Gonzalez
did you read the OP you nig nog? they are illegally making copies of literally all your steam user data and almost certainly sending it to home base for Epic to analyze. They are probably going to be facing a lawsuit by the end of this month.
Liam Reed
Because they aren't paying me for taking my data, honestly.
Ryan Barnes
Would you want a security officer 24/7 in your house watching everything you do?
Ian Sanders
They are mining email and various account logins, credit card information, bank information, all your internet history and program usage, etc. If you don't care about that, then you are just a moron.
Blake Murphy
It's the same fucking thing. Exclusivity for the sake of getting people to use the launcher. Stop being butthurt and you might see more clearly.

you realize that fiddler is a tool OP downloaded right? epicgameslauncher doens't use fiddler to spy on anything. the person who made the image is using it to spy on epicgameslauncher. it really says something about the ability to clearly communicate ideas of retard who made the image. so many people got this confused because the image was made by an underage edgelord trying desperately to fit in.
Nicholas Collins
>the counter to "Who cares about your data being mined" is apparently "Data you don't want mined is being mined" as if this wasn't a fucking given
get the fuck off Yea Forums then if you aren't comfortable with companies knowing your location and where you click and what external links you go to.
Josiah Cox
kek prove it troll, cause thats an outright lie
Juan Nguyen
Nice to know you don't even know the first thing about business you complete and total fucking retard.
Their only objective is to data mine and bitcoin mine your machine. Downloading it is the trap, the exclusives and free games are the bait. You're right that the sales don't matter to them, but they do to the devs who got duped and who are all now suffering for their idiotic short sighted greed since none of them have made any sales at all. And it will collapse by the end of the year. It has already failed and Tencent will just discard Epic's empty husk when the Fortnite revenue stream dries up in a few months. Tim Sweeney will be bankrupt and probably go to jail for this shit too.
Kayden Powell
>It's the same fucking thing It isn't. EA and Ubisoft are very much allowed to pull their game from Steam because those are their IP. But literally-who devs and other companies getting paid from pulling their game from Steam on purpose? Come on now. It's not the same fucking thing just stop acting like a special kid. Also it doesn't help that Origin and Uplay have more important functionality than Epic, those being full controller supports, third-party key registration and voice chat.
Blake Reed
i need to get off Yea Forums for a while. you fags are insufferable. why can't we just have a normal, productive discussion? doesn't all the false flagging and baiting get tedious for you guys?

William Wood
But that was my point in the first place, user. Of course those are minor details but they are still there. You'll be an idiot to even think Epic is doing the same as those other 2 launchers, mainly because I don't remember Origin or Uplay pulling out their games days before the planned release on Steam.
Nolan Ramirez
The nigger or the bike?
Kevin Myers
>these are Chinese shills I wish I could believe you right now because it would actually be more reasonable to just see normal people actually defending that atrocity of a launcher for free.
Isaiah Williams
Days before? What game is this? Phoenix Point?
Nathan Nelson
Do not suport racist stores and their video games.
there are people who DONT believe it? in 2016 you might have had a case but there are plenty of proven cases of shilling on Yea Forums and other boards do you know how fucking easy it is? if someone paid me half a dollar for every post defending tencent and pissing cunts off, hell yeah i'd fucking do it, wouldn't you? you are basically the equivilent of a few decades ago, our parents time, imagine your dad younger saying "no no of course they're not indians in another country just calling, its obviously someone here" its completely reasonable, but there comes a time when its too obvious to not notice
Thomas Gonzalez
Daily reminder that Epic Store is "American software" and Epic Games is "American company". This is the real "fact" no matter how hard you shills try to twist and deny it.
That, and Metro Exodus. Valve even written a post of apologies on the Metro Exodus market page explaining this wasn't their doing. Basically 2 weeks before launch they announced that within 24 hours it won't be possible to pre-order it from Steam anymore. I won't be surprised if they will be doing that in the future to other games.
And you probably are western shill or anti-Chinese shill. Yea Forums is renown for filling with mindless anti-Chinese shills, there are even anti-Chinese been caught many times.
Mason Robinson
*anti-chinese spambot
Dominic Mitchell
It's not that I don't believe it, it's jsut that it has become tedious for me to go along those shills and the poeple actually acting to be shills. I'm here since 2009 and I've seen plenty of shills on the past years, mainly from Ubisoft and just having more and more of those people here just saddens me but I guess it's what you get in the long run to have an anonymous board.
Asher Hall
>anti-shill thats called a normal person you fucking robot
Wyatt Hernandez
2008/9 here aswell, im sure plenty of people are merely pretending but the truth is that Yea Forums is a lot uglier now than it was, and thats saying something. i get the impression most posters now are 16-20. i mean i was 14 in 2009 but FOR ONE i fucking lurked and 2 it was actually important not to be seen as underage now people dont give a fuck how they're seen, any reply is a good reply that they can turn into more replies haha im trolling xd it was good while it lasted brother
Zachary Hughes
We're still basically dealing with installers and launchers on PC, ooh I need to download Launchpad to download Planetside 2, I'm going to tell Daybreak to kill themselves
The bullshit part is the fact Epic is as thirsty for exclusives as an incel is for women, to the point they interrupt plans of many developers to get their games exclusive on their store, like Phoenix Point and Metro.
But all who preordered got it right, and was able to play on Steam? Why would you want to buy it on release day and not preorder it? Anyway, an irrelevant question. I can see a really small amount of people not preordering and expecting to play on release day. An even smaller amount disgruntled because they needed to buy it on Epic Launcher instead. I don't see that much of a fuzz about it for two reasons:
1. All who preordered are still able to play on Steam.
2. All who wanted to play on release day and still able to do so, just through another launcher.
Ethan Brown
>According to this website: Fortnite Guide- Now Add Steam Friends In Fortnite - VoStory the functionality that lets people import their Steam friends into the EGL was added with Update 4.3 of Fortnite. That update was released on May 30, 2018. The first files scrapped by the EGL on my computer were generated on May 4, 2018. Did those files travel in time?
>I-it's an opt-in feature, guys. epic games would never harvest your data without permission
Yeah, seems more like we got "REGION LOCK CHINA"ers finding some excuse to say "chink" while boasting 'murican supremacy, when it's any company, no matter where, that tends to do this shit. I mean, what about the developers selling their souls to Epic, many of them are European and American. EGS isn't even in China. Ten-cent is just there to milk off more of the Fortshit money.
Oh, by the way, I'm not shilling for Epic BTW. Not when I'm a Linux guy who feels like they spat on our platform, let alone abandoning UT4 for Fortshit.
Michael Perez
>i don't get why gdpr exists or why would would even want or need it
Why don't you use the same tools people used for EGS to find out, dumb frogposter?
Leo Peterson
What about Phoenix Point? They decided to just drop Steam and GOG entirely, while going "even if all refunded we'll still be covered" Even more of a rude awakening than with Metro.
Jackson Wright
Did Uplay only pull Division 2?
Evan Thomas
>1. All who preordered are still able to play on Steam. The only reason that much happened was likely because Valve's legal team dick slapped Deep Silver Also, everybody who pre-ordered the physical version had their steam key swapped for an epic key >2. All who wanted to play on release day and still able to do so, just through another launcher. Please re-read the OP
Samuel Torres
Reminder that SteamSpy earned $14000 per month on pateron by scraping your data from Steam. If you think your data is worthless then feel free to keep being exploited.
Ayden Evans
No one gives a shit about Div2. Siege on the other hand that would be another story

dude they had a facetime exploit that listens to everything on iphone before going public "fixing" it. how many other exploits do u think they have?
I don't use iPhone, I use android. Second, xPosed framework allows system calls. The only way to monitor is through blackbox located on chipset which is cellular modem. Which is well known fact. There are phones with physical kill switch for that though
android lol, thats even less secure, and on a China made device. fucking retard. at least Apple denies the FBI access when they try to get Apple to hack into phones of "criminals". who knows wtf Samsung is allowing China to see on their phones.

>Chink representative More like "Americunt representative".
Repeating your lie 1000 times and it'll still be a lie. Epic Games/Store is your "American" company! Reddit is also "American" website. You have to deal with it, soulless faggot shill. Over 50% Epic's stocks are controlled by you Americans, they're created and registered in America, their bosses are Americans, managements are Americans, HQ is in America, their data are stored in America/Europe, and they have to obey US laws and EU laws, not China's laws. These info are all completely open to public and addressed on their websites, unlike your far-fetched paranoid bullshits.
Epic Store doesn't even have regional prices in East Asia/China right now, Chinese have to pay in "US dollars", their "refund page" doesn't even support Chinese language, yet, and several games on Epic Store are blocked in China. If it's really a spyware, then it's still you American spyware.So go suck on it.
William Mitchell

Why do you think privacy is such a huge concern lately? Information is really valuable. Everyone does this. There are so many things companies can just hide in their ToS, fully knowing that nobody is going to read it.

When I was talking about changing the place I was talking about YOU not them actually moving their HQ, which I don't even know if they ever did that. All I care is that they are accessing datas on PCs which they shouldn't and thats enough reason to not allow Epic to enter your PC
Parker Powell
>Maybe because steam isn't open like that about it's stealing of information? Yes they do, they state it very clearly. store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/ >Valve also processes anonymous data, aggregated or not, to analyze and produce statistics related to the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of customers as a group or as individuals. Such anonymous data does not allow the identification of the customers to which it relates. Valve may share anonymous data, aggregated or not, with third parties. If you call Epic "stealing data", then so are Steam. >Epic Chink where everything is Chinese botnet. Fake News.
as someone whos gone to multiple focus groups. yes.
Elijah Bailey
Yes, you're scummy shill, who spreading lies. Epic Games is still based in America and operating in American, but you claim they change place to do business, that's a "lie"! And you're shifting focus again.
Blake Cooper
You've reading comprehension issue. I've never said a good word about them yet you're so fixated on finding the shills that you even fail to see a point made by an anonymous user. What do I know, maybe I phrased it bad. >Pointing out the place where they do business doesn't make them less scummy. There, better yet? Just the fact that they have their HQ in America instead of China doesn't suddenly make them good guys who aren't stealing infos. >And you're shifting focus again. You're the one shifting focus pointing out useless info on where are they operating, it doesn't matter. What it matter is that they're reading and copiyng the localconfig.vdf file on the users PCs, something that they shouldn't even consider to do.
