If they want to do that then they should be open, transparent and give me free stuff so it's a valuable trade off.
>inb4 it's GNU/Linux btw

They give free games every two weeks.

Technically illegal where I live. Once the EU catches on they're going to be fined out of the fucking ass and be forced to change.

I hate this shit people spout that you shouldn't care about epic spyware if you have a google account because they both do it. The difference is Epic wants my credit information for access to games and I don't have to do that for a Google account to shitpost on youtube and have an email address

Terrible b8 thread
Instead. Let's talk about which mountain dew is your favorite.
I like pitch black

How has GDPR not fucked them over?

Nah.

EU made GDPR to milk money from rich companies such as Facebook, Google etc. They don't give a fuck about Epic, unless Epic is wealthy.

I reported a company to a commissioner and they spit in my face and told me to fuck off. I looked up the commisioner's name and her Twitter profile was full of anti Facebook retweets.

This, I got subnautica for free like a month ago

Epic make billions a year. Going by the fines for breaking GDPR, they can be sued for 4% of what they make per year. 4% of billions is a lot of money.

They won't. Tencent will pull strings and remind the EU China owns a LOT of their seaports. Wouldn't want them locked down now, would they?

Doesn't steam do the same shit? Serious question.

They give advertise "free" games with a catch, monetarily they're "free" but they obviously have ulterior motives that they wont share to monetize their business. Hence it isnt really free because they arent being honest about it

Yea Forums is too young to remember it since all the oldfags have left, but the exact same complaints about 'stealing' data were raised about steam when it was first released. As they do today, they also scan your computer for data which they take.

In 12 months this is what is going to happen, Epic hype will have died down, it will have more games on it because they offer a better cut for developers over themselves, plenty of people will be buying the games because no one gives a shit about privacy since its irrelevant but it wont be the Steam killer either.

You'll get the odd post about 'Hey Yea Forums what do you think about X' then someone saying ">Epic Store >Having spyware on your computer" and some shitposting about that and absolutely nothing will change.

The EU are aware of how much of a threat China is and have passed laws to prevent mass investment from China into the EU.

If they're willing to do this, do you think they'd be scared to fine some company for breaking the law because that company is partly owned by China?

Yeah? The laws aren't stopping China at all.

Actually they have almost stopped China from buying up ports in the EU.

If you don't want to use the chink game store because of muh privacy and muh data then you better also not
>own a smartphone
>use modern browsers
>use windows
>use any social media like twitter or facebook
Because they "steal" as much, if not more data from you.

Honestly though why do people care about all that data being collected is no human beings are ever gonna see it? It's all just algorithms they use to try to jew more money out of you by trying to find out what you like to buy.

This

Better than have to wait until next year

Besides, what gives? pretty sure everyone scans my crap anyways
