I dislike Sweeny et al more than most, but do you boycott all UE games?
Cris16228@lemmy.today 2 months ago
The problem is not UE tho

They’re both Epic, my guy – do you just specifically dislike one of the engineers working on EOS or what?

I’m not them, but I dislike Epic Online Servies, too. Last time I read the terms document, it granted permission for way too much data collection, and I’m not a fan of spyware.

You don’t have to log in to Epic unless you want to play with Epic users.

That’s not how EOS works.

I mean if you don’t log in, at least the dedicated server only makes two calls to EOS. The SDK is in the game, sure, but if you’re not logging in to Epic then I don’t really see the threat. It seems like classic sinophobia to be totally blasé about any data Steam (or Coffee Stain) want to collect, but to avoid the entire product because Tencent might be able to associate your IP with the fact that you own the game.
