If anyone is wondering why people don't want Epic Game Services on their computer

This is why. It's already been confirmed that it's spyware. Other companies do have issues but they don't do THIS which I'm sure breaks multiple laws as well.

Tim Sweeney (that name should be VERY familiar to you) already confirmed that it was, in fact, spyware as well so it's not even up to debate whether or not its spyware. If you don't know what spyware is, spyware isn't malware, what it does is it collects data from your machine (PCs are called machines in the tech world) and sends it back to its master. It's not going to interfere with your processes or give you a virus. I believe they have also been hacked before which means that other people would have access to your data that they have illegally collected from you. I don't care about data and analytics, that's NOT what they are collecting. They are collecting your personal data and most people that I know are not okay with that!

There is something called consumer practices. If a company does something once, you know that they can, and in fact likely WILL do it again. The trust between the company and the customers was already broken. This is like having an abusive partner, breaking away from them, then going back expecting for things to be different.

They've been caught repeatedly with their hands in the cookie jar. It's relevant regardless.

What OP posted literally has nothing to do with EDF6. It was a post from some random dude who, later, said that he didn't know what he was talking about (you can look his posts history) from 5 years ago and about the Epic Games Launcher, not Epic Online Services, what EDF6 uses.

The other person is right in calling them out for posting outdated and made up stuff that has nothing to do with EDF6.

You say this is made up, when Tim Sweeney has already confirmed this is exactly what EoS was doing and they did not approve of that. You can go look that up FYI. You can also read the comment section where they specifically talk about EoS. What do you this the game launcher is using? Obviously it is using EoS. Why play stupid?

You all better uninstall all of these Spyware Games as well https://steamdb.info/tech/SDK/EpicOnlineServices/. I better not catch any of you playing Elden Ring or Hades

Also later that guy confirmed he literally has no experience in this kind of stuff and all written was just a schizo post

Good thing nobody from epic came out to confirm all those claims but it's being done for a 'good' reason so now its fine, kids like this is why we cant have nice things

I didn't mention this but I've already mentioned this on other threads. You can block EoS from running on most games. I did it with dead island 2 for example and the game ran fine. Most games you can just block it and move on. With this game it is directly baked into the game which I don't think is intended and I don't think that they implemented it correctly as no other game as far as I'm concerned that has single player allows this. If you would like I could launch hades right now and prove that because EGS is not allowed to be on my PC and I ensured such blocking any ports and send calls that it uses and blocking the actual installation of the service as well.

Right, but you know what was confirmed? That is was spyware and others have verified his results. Funny how you ignore that though. Tim Sweeney sure didn't ignore it :)

I have plenty of the games the website listed, and I don't need to install EOS at all, even playing with my friends in Palworld and Elden Ring.
Meanwhile, this game, EDF6, requires me to install EOS and it didn't even ask for my permissions. So what's your point?

And you can block it having no issues with running these games. Some people just aren't that bright. . . Ignorance is one thing but acting like you are correct when you don't have all the information is just weird to me.
