And guess what? From the point of view of each of them, everything they do is retribution for something or other that some other country did, preventive measures to protect themselves, or both.Īnd Microsoft, Google and other companies that could be considered "fully US companies" are also part of that problem, if you want to blast Epic for it.Īs some of us say down here, every government and every country has their ass dirty, for one reason or another. And you can make an argument to defend one or another, but they're all spying. The US does it, the UK does it, China does it, Russia does it, the dumbasses running intelligence down here do it, and the list goes on and on. EVERYONE is spying on everyone else for their own reasons. That's fine and all, but let's be honest. They are doing it, we know they are doing it, and they are very good at it - to include being excellent at denial, and covering their tracks. And we must not forget that the Chinese government (not to mention the Russians, North Koreans, and Iran) is actively engaging in cyberwarfare against The West. That's just as bad!Ĭome on people! We consumers need to stop rewarding bad behavior. And why do they get away with it? Because they make otherwise, good products so consumers overlook their repeatedly bad behavior.
They get caught, deny, "fix" then sit back for a bit until consumers forget - then do it all over again. A Chinese based company repeatedly accused and rumored to have ties (perhaps unwillingly or even unknowingly) with the communist Chinese overlords. This smells just like Lenovo - another Chinese based company that was repeatedly caught putting malware on their products. So this appears to be a recurring problem. Google shows spyware accusations going back to 2016 - all denied by Epic, of course.įrom December, 2018: Is Epic Games Store user data accessible by the Chinese government? It would be nice if another reputable site verified this was happening but note this PCGames article, Epic tries to ease fears that its launcher is collecting Steam data and look at the date it was published, Mar 14, 2019! And this arsTechnica article.
And instead of fessing up to their "spyware" misdeeds, they are pretending to be shocked something like this could ever happen, that it was all a mistake and they are "fixing" it as soon as possible. I call that nothing short of egregious " spyware".īut they got caught red handed with their mitts in the cookie jar. That is, gather information about us and send it to 22 different servers, including at least one belonging to Amazon. This sounds more like it was doing exactly what someone wanted it to do.
