Umm, I love @FortniteGame, but this stuff legitimately terrifies me.
@TimSweeneyEpic - Are you able to shed any more light on this ?

Here is our write-up on what the Epic Games launcher does. https://www.reddit.com/r/PhoenixPoint/comments/b0rxdq/epic_game_store_spyware_tracking_and_you/eijlbge/ …. There are a lot more Epic comments in the thread if you expand-all to see the comments the trolls downvoted into invisibility...

so you never explained why the EGL doesn't use API's like a legitimate non-malware program would, or why your software collects data without the users permission or knowledge which is illegal across the board even if you don't transmit it elsewhere.

Steam data is only sent to Epic if the user explicitly chooses to import Steam friends, and then it’s solely the hashed id of their friends. We minimize the inclusion of third-party libraries in our products to reduce complexity and security concerns.

then why to you scrape the data without user consent? you have yet to show any source code to support your claims and there are no security concerns with using legitimate API calls compared to the severe security concerns with what you are doing.

Replying to @FelisRufus35 @TimSweeneyEpic and
after all the concern is that you are collecting data without permission and actively bypassing protections that would keep you from collecting MY data when you scrape my friends computer.

Privacy is respected on both sides of the friends relationship. Two Steam friends are only matched up on Epic if both users choose to import Steam friends. If one one user imports, then the connection isn’t made.
