@gamingonlinux nice. I just had them ask my birth date today in their launcher so gave them some bs date
@throAU @gamingonlinux I have essentially zero trust for Epic as a company since they were caught scanning your Windows Steam folder for content and friends information without your permission. If I remember right they said the information never left your device, but the fact they considered it acceptable to do in the first place and only admitted it after they were caught didn't really make me inclined to believe them.
@picard @gamingonlinux pretty much my thoughts also. Only reason I installed was to play wonderlands with a friend and the game isn’t that good so may as well deinstall it.
