Italian language support, Epic Online Service and Discord DLLs added.
Good reason to uninstall. No reason for a single player game to have EOS integrated.
You might want to look up what Malware actually means, because it doesn't mean what you think it means.
EOS has a ton of features that are not just for multi-player games.
Also just because the DLL is there it doesn't mean it's actively being used on the Steam version. The game might be coming to EGS soon, and EOS is also used for games on EGS for things like Achievements and Cloud saves. So the EOS DLL being there wouldn't be any different than how the GOG Galaxy DLL files are in the Steam version, and how the Steam DLL files are on the GOG version
We know that Epic loves to include people just making use of EOS as part of their EGS userbase to artificially inflate their numbers. And given how Epic has been treating the PC community for the past years, I'd say yes, it's malware.
Epic can go to hell and I wish them nothing but failure.
That is false, because Epic literally advertises 2 different numbers, one for EGS and one for total connected accounts. People who have an Epic account but are not using EGS at all are only counted in the total connected accounts number and not in the EGS numbers.

SO agian, I suggest you actually learn what malware is, you don't know what it is. If not liking something means it is malware, then Steam is malware too because I don't like it, and I don't like how Valve has been treating PC gamers for the last 20 years with the anti-consumer and anti-competitive stuff they have been doing.
Still, I'm going to remove this game off my wishlist. It's so nice to have options.
yet you will still use Steam despite Valve has been unrelentless with anti-consumer and anti-competitive tactics.
That isn't what I said, nor implied at all.
New evidence have been released showing emails from Valve to many other developers and publishers where Valve used threats and bad actions towards developers and publishers that wanted to or did provide cheaper prices for games on other PC stores compared to the price on Steam, PC stores that were not selling the Steam key. That is highly anti-consumer and anti-competitive for Valve to abuse their market share like that to prevent other stores from providing us cheaper prices, it stifles the growth of those stores if they couldn't provide cheaper prices. It had the knock on affect of removing a reason to put the game on more than one store if they couldn't put the games onto smaller stores at a cheaper price.
Valve forcing updates on games we have installed is highly anti-consumer
Valve segregating the modding scene is highly anti-consumer, which we later learned Valve did this because of their own greed in wanting to charge for mods.
Valve had to be forced to provide a refund policy.
Gabe Newell is a hypocrite that talked against DRM only for Steam to offer one of the most used DRMs out there. DRM is anti-consumer.
Sorry for the confusion. We just made a small update that adds a call-to-action button to the main menu for our upcoming game (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1823990/Gravelord/). We also started working on an Epic Store integration as well, and that's how the DLL got there.
In the Steam build, it does nothing, because the game code never calls a single function in it, much like the DLL for GOG or Discord or whatever other service. I agree that, ideally, a build for each platform should only have the DLLs it really needs, not any superfluous libraries that just sit there doing nothing -- it's just an oversight.
Thank you for your understanding!
So...you've handed your customers' PII over to Timmy Tencent...for an in-game ad?
