Ok real fucking talk is this actually a chinese botnet because I really want all the bamham games

No.

Don't trust retards on Yea Forums spouting garbage, people have tested this. EGS doesn't collect any sensitive information and doesn't send anything like that away.

It's an American company, part owned by a Chinese firm. If you avoid everything TenCent has their fingers in, you're avoiding a LOT.

Again, don't trust retards in this thread spewing memes, just do a Google search and see three findings for yourself.

just fucking pirate it

>launcher that could be hacked to play pirated games in coop
chinese coders lmao

Valve collects data from your Steam profile, the content you create and upload, shares it with third-parties, and you cannot opt out.

I believe this with no evidence at all.

Yes valve does store your username, screenshots and things you share on their fucking service
are you a brainlet or something? Are you going to tell me valve shouldn't store my games as to not breach my privacy?
God your fucking dumb, atleast site your sources nigga

Giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming this true and it is indeed used in nefarious ways. Ultimately who the fuck cares about Steam profile data, it contains jack shit. Where as Epic scans your entire system.

also bamham games suck

I already have asylum and city both with all the dlc on steam, they were already gifted for free

Good goyin, keep trusting them! Here your shekels

if you want free games isnt it like actually more convenient to just pirate shit
the bamham games also suck huge ass aside from asylum which is ok

pretty damn funny you're asking for sources about valve but when it comes to EPIC it's all truth.

So some company is going to use the fact that I commented on a Xcom 2 community post once, I live in "somewhere USA", and I made a shit mod for Skyrim 5 years ago to take over my life?

Here's a groovy idea: any one of you DRM apologists want to explain the benefit I get from downloading Steam OR EGS software? If I want to own my games, why do I have to let illicit third party software onto my computer? Furthermore, why do these supposedly pro-consumer companies allow devs to use even more DRM like denuvo? IF EGS or steam was for my benefit, they would actively forbid any kind of DRM, like with Borderlands. Tim would bitchslap Randy and say "get that shit out of your game" before allowing him to sell it.

But that didn't happen, did it?

Valve's terms of service.

Well the thing is that when a company wants to operate in China, they need to partner with a Chinese company. Those companies are usually controlled or heavily monitored by their government.
They deny taking data, but have been known to take info even from their own citizens.

Giving people ownership of the single game they buy is not violating intellectual property laws. Copying it and distributing or selling it would be.

>user post this 10000th time just to get btfo
why do you keep posting this picture?

No, it isn't. The chink spyware meme got disproved months ago.

No.

Firstly, it isnt owned by tencent. Second, the shit they do on your computer like this moron complains about is the EXACT same shit every single distribution platform has to fuck with to protect the games, where do you think keys get stored.

Jesus, even independent games like Starsector fuck with registries to store your HKEY.

Full of bugs for no specific purpose actually.
Did they use a down syndrome monkey to code this?

>because I really want all the bamham games.
That's what they're counting on. Why would they give you free games if they were getting nothing from it? They NEED you on the botnet and they're using simple temptation techniques for the simpleminded.

This.

If you are not paying for it, you are not the customer, you are the product being sold.

epic is owned by tencent and they have half the seats on the board of directors
the rest of your post is some dumb shit you fished out of a river
do you actually take medication?

botnet or not bamham and its clones are trash. literally spam one button to win occasionally push another button to do epic counters and takedowns.

>3 out of 15 is half
good to know retard

>epic is owned by tencent
Look you underage fucktard I know you failed math but let me try to explain this as simply as possible.

If you own 51% of a company, you own the company. Tim Sweeney owns 51% of the company, therefore, he owns the fucking company. It literally would not matter if any other company owes 49%, they cant do fucking shit.

it is no more and no less a chinese botnet than steam is. china already has all of your info anyway from any number of other sources, not that anyone really gives a shit about penniless randos who need free games. don't be a retard.

What has western authorities said about this though?
I suspect that registry is required for deep level processes in the OS to make it function with the code of the games and the programs.
If it's not meant to do that, then I suspect it's due to shit chinese coding.

>epic is owned by tencent
Tencent has 40% of the shares. That is not ownership of the company. By your logic Gabe does not own Valve since other organizations also hold shares, thats how stupid you are.

>If you own 51% of a company, you own the company.
>It literally would not matter if any other company owes 49%, they cant do fucking shit.
The guy you're quoting is retarded, but so are you unfortunately.

well, they can do shit in the sense that companies have a responsibility to all of their shareholders they just can't directly control any decisions.

>If it's not meant to do that, then I suspect it's due to shit chinese coding.
>Western company
>Western developers
>Almost entirely western games
>This is Chinese

Epic used to be great. Remember that? They were literally E P I C

Now it's just an arm of the evil TenCent.

Attached: UnrealTournament2004_FINAL_PCBOX.jpg (321x467, 44K)

that is ownership of a huge stake in the company and they can definitely put pressure on them it just isn't a controlling interest. they aren't going to just say "lol you only own 40% so fuck you"

China's govt cares about speech, hence why chinese coders independent from the government would avoid bots at all cost. They don't want to be perved on by the government of their own jurisdiction.
In fact, I now suspect the "bots", if these aren't dumb bugs, come from the US for that fact.

That just means he has the controlling interest. Tencent owns the company in the same way that he does though. They paid for it. It's theirs.

I've been using Epic Launcher for learning and developing UE4 stuff before EGS even existed but that doesn't make it any less underhanded or the betrayal any less severe. As much as I love and admire UE4 honestly fuck Epic. I'm still holding out hope they can buy themselves free from Tencent but chances are slim to none.

You might be retarded, my dude.

Wrong, when no one party can claim ownership of the entire organization, by having 51% or more of a company you are the solo and only owner.

It is a COMPLETELY different situation to a company which is owned by say 5 people with 20% each.

Oh no I feel bad for your clients...

You can get the game of the year versions from green man gaming for like 12 bucks combined right now.

Do the epic ones come with the dlc?

Yes you fucking idiot. China can't keep their manufacturing monopoly so they're trying to consume the software and entertainment media fields.

>I'm still holding out hope they can buy themselves free from Tencent but chances are slim to none.
They brought tencent in to create the shit the specialize that that epic had zero experience in.
Namely online sales infrastructure and marketing

Why would Epic want to get itself in trouble with the government?
The only data they're getting is pointless deep level data due to incompetent coding.

they have the most shares under their control, everyone else individually has less shares including tim, aka they are the major shareholders
I knew most americans had a 5 yearold's education in law and economics
tim sweeney does not own 51% of the company, it is an EDITED wikipedia article you are citing. for tax reasons tim is the "owner", it is basically fraud

again, exactly half of the decision makers in the top are from tencent games and tencent holdings

Intellectual property rights are not ancap

>no point
Thats what I thought.

I dont even fucking like Epic or this shitty store but you dumb fuck American retards cant even comprehend your own shitty corporate law. If you own 51% of the shares you are the sole owner of the organization, it is not in any shape or form like a situation when no one party has controlling interest. Tencent doesn't own Epic and since one person has 51% he has entire control over the company with zero outside influence. If he wanted to tell Tencent to fuck off he can, he cant force them to sell but he can refuse to work with them and never talk to anyone from Tencent ever again. Except AGMs and other statutorily required instances.

He could quite literally rename all the shares owned by Tencent "Cunt shares" and they can do nothing about it.

>Namely online sales infrastructure and marketing

lmfao brainlet, who the fuck said Valve or the companies they share your personal data with are going to "take over your life"?
I was merely pointing out that Valve collects data from your user profile, shares it with third-parties, and you cannot opt out. Which is an undeniable truth, spelled out in their own terms of service.
Keep moving those goalposts, drone.

Why are you retards arguing over privacy policies that say the corporation in question will share data with third parties WHEN EVERY SINGLE FUCKING STOREFRONT DOES THAT. Pretty sure that boilerplate is in most software EULAs too. And any website that has a defined privacy policy will have that shit in there too.

looking forward to all the tu quoque and ESL bullshit in this thread

not that im defending it, but isnt it typically for patenting and copyright or to "defend your brand" that you introduce redundancy?

>Why are you retards arguing over privacy policies?
Because it's amusing as fuck pointing out that Valve has the same privacy policies as Epic does and then watching drones scramble for a different talking point, such as claiming that the Chinese own Epic, which again is easily proven wrong.

Next thing you know, they'll pivot to the "b-b-but...exclusives" and then I get to point out that Valve built Steam on the backs of IPs that they snapped up and made permanent Steam exclusives - such as Counter-Strike; Team Fortress; Portal; L4D; and Dota, with the last IP that Valve actually created themselves being Half-Life. And then I get to ask why a timed exclusive is so much worse than moneyhatting IP holders and locking their games to your launcher forever like Valve did and continues to do.

Often by this time I'm bored with BTFOing drones, but if they keep arguing I usually like to bring up how Valve fired the entire staff of Turtle Rock Studios (known as Valve South at the time) after they made clear that the parent company's lack of communication and scattershot dev culture was strangling the L4D franchise. Valve retained their IP of course, which has sat idle ever since, permanently locked into Valve's platform as a Steam exclusive.

So to answer your question, I argue that point to bait Valve brainlets into self-owning.

>Sweeney himself said that Tencent votes as a fiduciary on the board of directors and that THEY are what is shaping Epic.
Does that mean they hire the coders directly?
If not, then what the fuck is happening?

>Tencent owns 40% of the company right now
>Sweeney, pushing 60, decides to retire

This is how it's going to happen.

Yes but you probably shouldn't care. Windows is a botnet, google is a botnet, Steam is a botnet, apple is a faggybotnet.

If you want real freedom you can go the linux route but the botnet has started infecting there too (with the expulsion of RMS the FSF is done for).

That's another possibility, but I'm suspecting that, as a chinese company that is executive for epic, they are simply so incompetent with running such a corp that they managed to hire shitty cheap coders with no idea what they are doing, i.e. pajeets. This is a chinese corp... they're notorious for being poorly run and for providing substandard services and goods. There's literally a "chink shit" thread on /g/ for good reason. It's russian roulette with chinese corps, largely due to an inadequate legal system at the judiciary level. Chinese lawyers are complaining about this. That's also why HK triads are promoting these protest in HK. They won't have a fair trial if their members are exported to the mainland.

if epic was actually stealing peoples shit wouldnt there be more legal backlash against that?

Then he's calling the shots essentially, though he does need the other members approval for certain decisions, especially regarding the corporate constitution.

So these are more likely to be bugs caused by Sweeney's incompetence/fuckery, not China's, assuming he is executive.

Probably not. I think there are evidential issues with this. Hence why everyone is not in jail for shit the NSA pervs on.

is it illegal to copy and upload your steam user profiles and useage statistics?

Epic is a shitty store that doesnt even have a shopping cart system for buying multiple games at once but i dont think you really have to worry about bot nets or anything

Epic brought console wars to the PC and their launcher is a featureless pile of shit that doesn't need to exist because It offers literally nothing to the end user.

At least with some other launchers like say GoG for example, they bring something to the table that nobody else does. I know when I'm buying something from GoG over say Steam or Origin (EA has a lot of games on GoG) that I'm getting the best version of that product.

Not to mention phones are a botnets wetdream realized.

what about that appears to be google translate you fucking nigger? It seems like perfectly normal english to me.

You all will take it up the ass and like it, so shut the fuck up about EPIC and buy Borderlands 3 again you fucking cucks.

And 3 copies of Fallout Online

>It offers literally nothing to the end user.
what about all the free games?

The shit my IT friends have seen, and the stuff I've seen myself from troubleshooting normie aquaintances computers. People just need to admit to their degeneracy but wheres its fantasy entertainment like watching a horror flick or reading a police/detective novel. Its obviously different if its the real deal.

so literally nothing, good to know

You mean shit people probably already have had from humble bundles? Years after the fact that come with the giant asterisk of
>You have to install epic games launcher, and btw you ONLY get windows versions of these games

They aren't free. Free would be DRM free and you download and play. No launchers involved.

Are you some kind of a corporate shill? I gave several reasons. If those reasons don't bother you, good for you. I don't care what bothers you, I'm not you. You asked me for my reasons and I gave you them.

Is just a shitty store with a shitty business model.

So this whole outrage is because Epic launcher "doesn't bring anything to the table" and the free games are not good enough?
lmao I knew this was just retarded bandwagon of hate where nobody even knows what they're outraged about.

The service being devoid of any notable features beyond the absolute bare minimum is a valid reason to dislike it though. You actually get more when you buy the Steam copy of a game.
>but muh bigger percentage to publishers
lol. Maybe publishers who want sales on EGS should tell Epic to provide a service that doesn't make Steam look so incredibly good by comparison.

And a shitty app too.

Mate, just because nobody likes your store doesn't mean it's a pointless bandwagon. Sometimes you can fuck up and end up with nobody really liking you afterwards.

Bitch if you wanna say it's bringing something new to the table, you missed how there's free games on steam and giveaways every year, GOG gives shit away during every major sale.
Hell I think even Playism has free games sometimes.

It's not my store, I and I don't give a fuck if Epic goes bankrupt tomorrow. I'm looking at this from a completely neutral point of view, and all I see is a lot of butt-hurt and no good reason why. Just a bunch of weak points derived from disliking Epic, and not the other way around.

All platforms do shady shit
but fuck China and Chinese investments, so yes FUCK EPIC

If it ain't your store, then why are you trying so hard to shamelessly shill? It doesn't add up, buddy. I think you'll be losing a lot of money if epic goes bankrupt tomorrow.

I really doubt you're shilling that hard only because you use the launcher and need to validate your choice to some anonymous people. You're about as neutral as Germany in WW2.

christ almighty this is embarrassing

Do you really think I'm a major shareholder from Epic trying to bump my stock prices by arguing with v/irgins on Yea Forums?
Ya'll really are retarded

Same. Is a perfectly good english sentences. fu cking stupid american nigger eat the ass of nigger. pLe ase buy epic game store

The free game spree on EGS is actually pretty extraordinary. Pretending otherwise is counter-productive because you're just inviting Epic shills to compare the number of free games on each store over the past 9 months, and Epic wins that contest.

And I'm adding all the free games to mthy account. But I won't be giving them any money until they:
1) stop paying publishers to cancel the releases of their games on other stores;
2) stop being so aggressively anti-Linux (or, better yet, support Linux); and
3) bring their service up to speed with the competition in terms of the kinds of features which I frequently use on other services. I hear they have cloud saves now; if true, it's a start. Maybe next they can add some forums so their users don't have to come to the Steam forums begging for tech help like a bunch of refugees.

No, I don't think you're a major shareholder. I actually think you're just a corporate bootlicker, but I really felt like playing it up and making you feel like you're important. Pointing out the obvious isn't that interesting.

>mthy
The fuck? Not sure how that typo happened.

So basically you have nothing?
Retard.

Anyone have the modded loli version of this?

Fags who feel the need to work in absolutes are the worst

Why do you bother with the lock on your door? I can just kick the door down, or use a bump key.
There's no reason to not take steps to secure your privacy, and by your logic you should just tell me your address and remove the locks from your door, no reason for them because it's pretty easy to break, right?

Steam.

This theory is equally retarded
Enjoy the Lego Batman games.

I agree, we should hack all their data and see how they like it.

You're LITERALLY in a thread about a corporation trying to deny the validity of problems people have with that corporation. You're not even making an argument as to why you think those problems are not relevant.

What I'm presenting is not a theory, it's a fact. You're a corporate apologist. For what reason you do that I do not know.

Fuck off Chang, Epic messes with the entire pc ecosystem, they got games such as Phoenix Point nabbed right at the end of development and took away promised GOG keys.

Yeah "Having to have an epic store account" is kind of a bigger downside than "Free games that nearly everyone already has" is an upside, dude.

No I disagree. Kill every executive and politician.

Man it really feels good not knowing wtf “stolen data” even means and just being able to get a bunch of free Batman games. Sorry you guys can’t enjoy them because of some Chinese hacker boogeyman or something. Maybe they will use my “data” to build a robot or something. I don’t fucking care. Shit I’ll give the chinks my address and Social Security number if they put more games like this on there.

So he doesn't want games?

there is no real world scenario where that could actually be utilized in an attack that doesn't already imply a compromised system

Do I start from Asylum or any other one? I've never played Arkham games.

but user... if I own 40% of the company... and my """friend""" owns 11%... and everyone else owns 10%... does that mean I own the company?

Shit nigga, I’ll send some free games if he ponies up his address and SSN

I didn't have most of them, but I realize many people do. So yeah, I respect your opinion.

Don't be dumb, it's more than "literally nothing"
That said, that other user is wrong about valve being too stubborn to fix it, since they released a statement saying it was a misunderstanding.

Yes, it's the best one thematically and story-wise. City has better exploration. Last one is a mixed bag.

Yes you start with asylum
You’ll probably come stab me to death and fuck my corpse, I don’t think “epic games” will do that.

Any clue why Origins isn’t included? It’s the third one right?

>cares about privacy
>uses windows 10
pick one

It isn't made by rocksteady is my guess.

That's a given

I'd be lazy about it too if I ran a gaming cafe and set the user to Administrator. Anyone affected by this is a fucking retard.

EGS is garbage and chinese information logging. Just find a near dirt-cheap key for all the games on a keysite.

My epic account was hacked for some fortnite skins Ive never gotten hacked in anything else

i didn't realize it's all the 3 main bamhams and not origins. tim sweeny is a fucking gangster, holy shit. I'm not going to be out of dank stealth games for a while.

Me neither, except I got my free games off of Steam years ago, and didn't parade it around like a shillbot.

Okay, do you want to meet up somewhere to do it... or?

Then explain it if you're so in the know. Otherwise you are a hot air blowing contrarian.

yep those same people who know how computers work got their epic account passwords and accounts stolen, all directly due to how fiddler operates. dont think that's particularly uncanny that this happened to my work mates?

lmao you unironically deserve everything you get fag

Just pirate that shit and make sure you have an extension like malwarebytes browser guard installed to protect you from browser locking ransomware because that shit is a lot more rampant these days.

you need to explain what does this mean for brainlets

Are you being legitimate because I've never heard of these.

Scrubbed my drives after i saw this, no way its NOT botnet.

Yes. If you browse a lot of torrent or porn sites, you're bound to run into one of those Indian scammer made "critical alert from microsoft" webpages that attempt to lock your browser by spamming you with a message box, some of them are even capable of increasing the CPU and RAM usage in the background in an attempt to make your system unstable. You can easily stop this by overlapping the close button of the message box on the close tab button and quickly clicking them both to close the page or you can force your browser to close via task manager and either start a new session or reopen the previous session and close the page before it has the chance to load and lock your browser again.

If you want to experience an example of that (I don't know why you'd want to), go to svscomics and open up any sample images of stuff submitted by the user Stigmata, the url shortner he uses leads to one of those pages.

>taskbar clearly showing epic launcher downloading something
yeah, you should be more wary of those steam client webhelpers

They're shit games.

They are owners retard, not sole owners but owners.
