      That is a gross simplification. The problem is that Epic and Tim Sweeney are very anti-consumer with their predatory tactics and practices, under the guise that they're trying to help competition.

      And that EGS is literally decades behind Steam in terms of features, in spite of their published roadmap.

      Correct. And before the comparison to Origin and Uplay, the difference is their exclusives are limited to their own products. They don't actively go out looking to steal products to monopolize.

      Exactly! I already have EGS on my PC because of Fortnite BR. HP's drivers and other nonsense are far more invasive (tho EGS still has issues) than anything else distributed by a legitimate company, so half the internet can STFU about Chinese spyware.

      Epic products only send Steam friends data to Epic if you explicitly choose to import your Steam friends in the user interface. This has always been the case.

      Maybe my previous tweet was not visible enough. @TimSweeneyEpic Reading again about the friend import, how does it work in case of refresh ?

      The file is imported and hashed ids of friends are sent to Epic only when you explicitly import Steam friends. Epic recognizes Steam friend connections only when both you and your friend do the import. So, new friend recommendations may arrive over time as your friends import.

          So in short, EGS parse the file to make hashes for each friends and send to EGS server. If me and my friend know each other hashes we are matched as friend on EGS.

          But it's strange, because it mean that if we are on EGS and having already sync our friends we cannot more sync ourselves. At least it would have a resync button or a better use of provided API to check about new friends. Would it not be a better method ?

          Referring to your statement in the article: was the copying of Steam-files without user consent (localconfig.vdf) & circumventing official Steam-API fixed as promised? Or is it still on your to-do-list?

          @TimSweeneyEpic No answer on that as expected. So we can assume it is still (intentionally) not fixed.
