2. It's in Settings > Legal, you'll find a setting called "Update EOS Settings"
Even the fact a data might be shared with a 3rd party platform like Epic is a red light for many.
If the game is co-op host-based (and not MMO) then why I need to deal with this service in a first place?
I use Steam - so let me use Steam service to connect with friends... or at least give an option to handle connectivity by myself.
So you need not create an Epic account of any kind? Or I need to create a different kind of Epic account? I'm sold on this game if I don't need to create a new account or log into any new client etc.
You, specifically, do not need to go out of your way to manually create an account.
The game creates an account for you that it uses. You do not need to manually log into that account, ever. If you've played a game that uses Epic Online Services, there's a chance you already have an EOS account bound to your Steam account and you wouldn't even know because it's all automatic and done in the background.
You CAN'T play online co-op if you don't agree to it.
Thank you. That makes it pretty clear. People are quick to call each other idiots, a nice clear answer is quite refreshing.
Thank you for this ! seems to have fixed it now :)
I don't like Epic Games, I refuse to use their launcher and I refuse to play any game that makes me login to their store to play. But Dragonwilds isn't one of those games and too many people think otherwise.
of couse you can't play online if you don't accept to use the online services ...
Okay I will address each specific point of your post.
As I said before, you literally do just press one button and play, which is what you're asking for. You literally just have to click once to agree to the terms, which is true for almost any game that uses a third party service to manage their servers.
Literally no sensitive information is shared with EOS. It has access to publicly available information such as your Steam username and profile picture and SteamID for the purposes expressly outlined in their T&C. Every service of this nature does something like this.
Because that's not how game dev works - you don't just get a list of what things you want in your game and you click a button to make it happen.
Your priorities are privileged in the sense that you don't have to worry about how you're going to actually make the game, you just want what you want and don't really have to care about how they make it happen. You don't have to care about the possibility that the game might become available on other platforms so you can't just use Steamworks to manage it, because you play on Steam so they should make the game use Steam because nothing else really matters as long as you're content.
This is exactly how it works. Decisions of what is available in the game and what is not, are made by devs, often accompanied by community feedback.
Enforcing one thing only, rather than making it an optional thing, is a really bad thing for a game.
Ignoring voices of large part of your audience (especially during Early Access) won't do good for your business - because nobody is going to pay for things they don't want.
If devs prefer to push some message, rather than sell the game well - that's on them.
then use it ... Oh wait ... this game don't have a P2P only mode. so as i said, you can't.
