Where were you when epic games saved pc gaming?

the launcher was literally stealing your steam configuration files so that Epic could see what games you own, what you were playing, etc.

Tell me your favorite aspects of the Epic Games launcher, as a platform.
Tell me your favorite things about the Epic Games store and what advantages you benefit from as a consumer over Steam.

>stealing
You mean reading the plain text files? So what?
Isaiah Edwards
I can buy games,the best feature of a store :)
Carson Wright
yes, it was taking those files, without your permission, and phoning them home to the server to construct a database on you. It is literally the definition of spyware

It's not bloated with unnecessary shitt. Besides, it's not about features which no one use. It's about the fact that steam is forcing 30% upon devs with their market power. They do not deserve such a cut, as simple as that.

When you manually select "Add my Steam friends" in the EGS, it uses a completely unprotected text file in your Steam install in that process. That file is literally a list of the Steam ID's of your friends and their Steam Profile Names and thats about it.
If this was important information, why didnt Valve adequately encrypt it?
Cheaper games? I can also buy a Ubisoft game on a discount from Epic and have the game transferred to my Uplay account and not have to deal with having two launchers open for one game unlike players of Rainbow Six Siege have to deal with because they brought the game on Steam.
Before you start your autistic rant about the features its missing, not only does that shit not matter to me because half the shit you're going to list has nothing to do with playing Video Games, but im also not claiming that EGS is better.
Difference between me and you is that im not mentally challenged enough to pledge allegiance to a fucking corporation, ill use whatever i want. I have issues with Steam, but i still use it and ive been using it for longer than you've been fucking alive but im not fucking stupid enough to fall for shitposts and parrot them as facts for why a launcher is "shady".
>it was taking those files, without your permission
You had to give EGS permission to do it, and again, if this was crucial information the blame is on Valve not not encrypting it as they do with the rest of your data.
>phoning them home to the server to construct a database on you
Got any proof they sent that data anywhere without your permission? Should be easy to show that with Wireshark and Process Manager.
