EOS Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA

[ERROR_404]

Dose using EOS mean we are signing a EULA with Epic Online Services?

So if you chose the left option it will create a new Epic Online Services ''account'' to play on Steam ?

The left one obviously.

It actually sounds as it is not. Looking at the description - you still setup an "EOS" account, just auth with Steam.

no, no account, it's just an online service, without needing an account. it literally says so! :)

Yes the code is baked into the exe

what steam only option?

it literally says on the left "no epic games account needed". it is just using epic online services.
you don't need to install or register anything (which many games require on steam, like third party accounts for e.g. stellaris)
just think like the devs rented some servers for multiplayer from #randomcorp

Ah ok but it would be even better if they didn't mention epic at all if you chose to play with Steam only, just saying.

no. it only uses premade code from epic for the unreal engine so that you can connect with other players.

It says about an Epic store account.

Setting up "a connection" to other service using a Steam account for me sounds that you auth with the Steam on that other service.

im pretty sure they have to mention it according to the EULA they pretty much had to sign to be able to use it to simplyfy the things while they were running their exclusivity period.

Yes. Under your steam ID with a pass you can't retrieve.
Same way fortnite on XBOX makes an arbitrary account on epic that you can't access if you ever need to.

Yes but Fortnite belongs to epic, Satisfactory don't so it's a little shady in my opinion to use this.

these are the clarified terms of service, which appy to the game developers, so coffee stain, in this case.

I couldn't find any tos so far for mere users of the games, regarding this service.
which doesn't mean there isn't any, but I haven't found any, beside the "tos" for the website itself (not applicable here) and the one you linked.

An account being made without your permission is still an account made without your permission...
until you click that box on the left in game.
