Does it grab your Steam data if you don’t “import steam friends”? by Blackwater 03/16/2019, 9:31pm PDT
Seems like they claim it doesn’t. Remember, never link one app to another. It’s like crossing the streams.

Also, Tencent is not “Epic’s parent company.” They’re a minority investor with a 10% stake. Epic runs on Amazon cloud, not a Chinese one. So if you’re worried about a megacorp grabbing your data, worry about Amazon or Epic, not Tencent.

I can’t get too worked up about the TOS grabbing user-generated content, since the “content” most users generate is worthy of flushing. But maybe I’m just too cynical. I guess Tower defense games started out as mods....

This shit sucks, but it has been so normalized now in the industry. They probably collect less telemetry than Windows 10 or Android. Just another day in the exciting new world of Clown Conputing. =(
