You morons realise every website and program you use "spies" on you right? It's marketing data, it's the most mundane shit in the world, you wouldn't even know it existed or anyone was taking it if you weren't told. Individually it's not even worth money, only when it's lumped in with hundreds of thousands of other users data is it of any actual tangible use.
The Epic Store is shit for other reasons but "CHINA SPY ON ME" isn't one. Get a fucking grip, you sound like dumb boomers who don't know how technology works. Thanks to retards like you every time I visit a new website here in the EU I get a pop up saying "HEY BRO WE USE COOKIES, COOL?". Fucking educate yourselves and get a grip on reality, you're expendable subhuman trash so lose the ego. No one gives a fuck about you.
Also, well done for being indoctrinated by your government into instinctually hating everything Chinese and thinking everything they do is out to get you. Americans are the dumbest fucks on the planet, even dumber than street shitters.
William Johnson
too late faggot the rumors are already spread and there's nothing you can do about it
why are you desperately defending some corporation anyway? you some kinda shill?
I said in the OP, thanks to retards who believe these dumb stories and have no context I have to deal with shit like cookie popups on websites.
Dumb boomers write the rules on shit they don't even understand because they listen to drooling morons running their mouths about shit they don't comprehend.

End of discussion, whether it's right or wrong it just happens and nothing you do, none of your whining, will change it.

Tyler Reed
>no reviews >no forums >no community guides >no workshop Good
User reviews either rate games a 10 or a 0, so they're worthless. Forums are cesspools and never contain any useful information. Community guides can exist elsewhere, it's not hard to google. Mods can exist outside of a store and did for decades.

Epic spied on Steam users so they can slander Steam for having less users which is pretty screwed up which is stupid because Epic has multiple platforms while Steam only has one also reminder that spying is only one of the issues that Epic has which it has many

I hate China because I had a startup company and during a very crucial time we had our work nearly got to a halt because we stored out code on github and it was down for 3 days. why you ask? because they hosted a project that helps bypass the great firewall of China and the Chinese government in response threatened them to remove them. after GitHub rightfuly refused, China ddos them using the great cannon of China until they complied.
I hate China because their government use illegitimate and illegal means to destroy Western competition to Chinese companies.
and I hate China because they support and fund extremist groups and regiems around the world, as shown by the way they vote in UN and by their international trade.
also nearly all Chinese I've met were literal scums.

Seriously? Stop replying to this shill. Let him starve when the chinks stop paying him.
the funny thing is that there is not even any actual proof of EGS spying on you, and you are being a retard for even lowering the discussion to defend this crap
this whole shitstorm was just made by some Reddit user (then spread on Yea Forums by some fag who made an image out of it) who was a self proclaimed amateur at datamining, but still went out of his way to make a lengty post that got several thousand likes. He found out that EGS is trying to access browser files like Explorer and just claimed that this must mean that the game is trying to collect data from there. In reality, EGS is just an internet browser based launcher (something that was stated long ago when it was asked why EGS doesn't support offline play yet), and it is just doing the same behavior as browsers, accessing the same files. There is zero proof that any of this would be "spying on you", when this is the exact same thing most launchers do, even Steam. The only extra EGS has is that it is also accessing your friend list on Steam (something that is legally accessible) for friend recommendation purposes.

Steam has no ties to an oppressive communist regime.
Steam tracks your usage of their platform to tailor games based on your preference or asks for your consent to get your pc specs (once ever 5 years) to optimize their games and platform.

Newsflash friendo, people don’t like it when an application copies files from their computer without their permission, that’s the type of thing that occasionally leads to “data leaks” and 100,000 people get their credit card information uploaded to the web.
Also, you’ve made this thread repeatedly, denied it, and continue to just screech the same shitty arguments on repeat. My advice is go somewhere other than the echo chamber that is Yea Forums, all you’re gonna get here is a mix between the same arguments and shitposting. Fucking newfag.

had a mum who was schizo that would flip out anytime she got targeted adds/emails and all that jazz. tried to limit her settings on the pc and phone as much as we could but i'm not nearly techy enough to block it all and preventing her from doing normal person things often made her feel even worse so we let it slide and just tried to explain it as best she can. she an heroed about two years back and while i wont blame ads or any of that shit on the cause, she was mentally suffering from a lot, I do think it had a very negative effect from time to time when she would be browsing and see things linked to her past clicks/orders that she couldn't rationalize how that got there. it just kinda irks me in a way and it certainly affected me because I had to deal with her emotions due to things like data gathering and skimming.
Liam Carter
so did Uber founder + the 10 others I posted + every other CEO in the world who "owns the company" but can be fired by the board of directors. there's not a single company on this planet where the board of directors can't fire the CEO, even if he owns 99.9999999999999% of shares.

China/Russia LITERALLY OWN THE MEDIA. They directly oversee everything that is said. In America there are a billion newspapers, local and national news stations, and even websites. All owned by different companies or individuals, all with different views. You're a fucking moron.

>All members of a board of directors weigh in on discussions and vote as fiduciaries on behalf of the interests of the company. Tencent's directors are super valuable contributors whose advise and participation helped make Epic what it is today.
which means it's a majority vote rule (unless you have a reliable source saying otherwise).
number of Tims on board of directors: 1 number of Tencent slimes on board of directors: 2 (out of total of 5)
they literally just need to get one of the other two on their sides and they are in control. it's that easy.

aside from the point the other guy replied to you,that the media is mainly controlled by some of the most rich groups/families with tight hold on the politics itself and lobbiest working for them 24/7
the newspaper and media fan the nationalism and write what the reader already like to sell well
its literally like making creating textbook for underage teenagers a market oriented business, the text book will be filled with porn and games, because it sells well
which is literally how today's media is filled with click bait shit, and how this populism/nationalism/racism got where it is now, and how ppl like trump taking advantage of it gets elected.

It's a valid concern. The problem is, Steam users lived under the illusion that Steam = PC. Like PSN = Playstation.
They only have themselves to blame. This is really just a tough wake up call, they will come to their senses soon.

You’re clearly retarded if you think the NSA, a federal agency, would ever give a shit about Epic stealing marketing data from consumers; even if it’s wrong in the eyes of the consumer.
I really wouldn’t even be surprised if Epic is also spying on China in some way or directly feeding data to the NSA so the feds can understand gamers better. The government is fucking retarded sometimes, and they do things that anyone from the outside looking in would think is retarded, and when it’s gets revealed 20 years later they were data mining from steam nobody will care and the only people who do care won’t have any idea what the fuck they could possibly have been thinking.

That’s literally what I said. The spyware on epic, which has been discovered already to be copying files from steam, could literally be NSA funded/requested.
The NSA could literally be stealing marketing data from steam because the NSA is full of mentally handicapped faggots who think that somehow data mining from steam will help them in the future.

If Epic wasn’t pushing for exclusives nobody would be as buttmad. Both stores could easily have the same games, and if Epic cared about the consumer they would lower the prices on their store to pass the savings on and let consumers vote with their dollar.
This is not what’s happening, instead they’re making it so if you want certain games you absolutely have to download their shitty store and still pay the same price you would anywhere else.
See the difference? Do I need to spell it out even further for you?

Someone who’s a literal IT nigger should’ve been able to do a lot more then get himself caught quickly.

OP is fucking right. You really think Epic is the only one spying on you? The new Internet has companies constantly spying on you. The Silicon Valley are farming your data as we speak.
All of these tinfoil hat wearing faggots crying about muh chinamen spying on them and steam doing the same probably don't even understand this post like absolute morons
Right, so does anyone have a single positive argument for why I should download the Epic launcher? Like anything positive at all that isn't just 'other companies do X as well!' or 'do you really need features though?' Anything at all?
You seem pretty interested in talking about Valve and Steam so could you answer me this? Why should I use Epic instead of Steam? Steam has shit like this >social media features and profiles >very common sales and bundles >huge selection with lots of filters to easily view what you want >community forums >community reviews >Linux support >shopping cart >wishlist >Mac support >screenshot hosting >in-client streaming and game clip hosting >steam family sharing >steam link/ big picture mode >significant VR hosting >achievements/badges >profile inventories and trading > live pages where debs can post news and patch notes But Epic has absolutely nothing

You can just pirate all their games. You don't have to feel bad for the devs, Timmy boy already paid them.
It simple I hate the Chinese Communist Party. And wish for them to be destroyed. Republic of China is True China. TAIWAN NUMBAH ONE
Angel Cox
Can you imagine what the Chinese would do with your data. Just think about how many chinese websites you visit, all of them will have your data. Think about the Chinese government agencies who can prosecute you for the data you own. I mean the next time you wander in the dollar store and see all those chinese products, they'll probably be made taylored to the data they harvest from Epic Game Store.
Don't be a dimwit. Stay safe, stay steam.

On 10 April, the Syrian governmentagain invited the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to senda team to investigate the sites of the alleged attacks. Trump, Macron, and Mayhave all issued statements saying that this is not an intervention in theSyrian civil war. 1 •Starting in June 2017, photos and videos from Syrian civilians in Raqqashowed that the US-backed coalition in Syria was illegally using white phosphorus in civilian areas. White phosphorus canburn human flesh down to the bone, and wounds can reignite up to days later. “No matter how white phosphorus is used, it poses a high risk of horrific andlong-lasting harm in crowded cities like Raqqa and Mosul and any other areaswith concentrations of civilians,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. Oneattack on an internet cafe killed at least 20 civilians, while other deathsare still being confirmed. One of those civilians killed was in the process ofsending a report to Humans Rights Watch, when the cafe was struck.

It's an anti piracy measure. You're forgetting that Steam was created to do something everyone thought was impossible, which was to offer something better than stealing games for free. Getting 0% hurts a lot more than getting 70%. I'm sure those in bed with Epic will learn this before long. Every launcher is the same thing and the launchers themselves don't actually hurt you in any way. In fact, they make things very convenient.
Valve literally saved PC gaming, which was almost nothing but piracy, by making Steam. Now Epic is doing the exact opposite and forcing people to pirate again.

Linux has better support for almost all open source software than Windows though.
I can go on developer's github issue trackers, bug trackers, IRCs, discords, forums, mailing lists...
And talk with actual developers, or highly knowledgeable people.
When have you ever got that kind of support on Windows?
I talk directly with developers all the time.
If you're not using open source software for almost everything, even if you don't care about anything but practical differences, you might be retarded.
