Two major breaches happened with Fortnite alone last year. While Epic can learn from those mistakes, they don't have enough time or experience IMO under their belt for me to consider using their service and feel secure. Steam, Origin, and uPlay log my personal data of course, but they don't snoop through each others data without the explicit consent of the user.

Phoenix Point is self-published. If the game goes under for whatever reason, it won't change anything besides the deal they have with Epic.

I'm not anti-Epic because it's another platform; I too use Origin, Battlenet, and uPlay. It's about the business practices performed by Epic that keep me from using their services, most of them anti-consumer, and some may even be illegal.

Until this anti-consumer stuff stops I won't be using Epic, and a lot of others won't either.
