First problems with the Epic Store raise there head.

It seams Epic has a VERY vague user agreement where they basically give themselves the right to sell user information to "sister companies" cough'Tencent'cough without the possibility of the user to decline.

YongYea video on the mater:

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure such clauses are pretty common in EULAs across the spectrum of online services.

There are clauses about sharing user information but the problem with the Epic Store terms is that they are much more vague to the point that it's allows them to do anything with your information. Even Steam gives you a check box where you get to choose if you want to allow data sharing. Epic doesn't even give you that.

YongYea goes into more detail on the subject.

Didn't they state they were GDRP compliant? For us in Europe at least they either are or are in big trouble

More over the binding arbitration clauses and the inevitable "We reserve the right to change this agreement indefinitely" which in turn results in holding ones purchased content hostage to ensure your compliance in perpetuity no matter how many times or different ways Vader Alters the deal, even after transactions have been completed.

I noted that there were GOG users saying that they didn't like GOG's new wide-designed web 2.0 look, where it's just boxes and splashed images everywhere, and no words. There were even more users concerned about GOG's autoplay video function and want that turned off, as that very technically sucks up bandwidth.

Well, Epic has all of that. Here's an example game page. The embedded background video also just revs up and I don't see a way to stop it without doing anything special.

My understanding (of EU-GDPR) is that they just have to communicate openly what, and to whom, data they are delivering, in case it is data that can be considered personal information. Metadata of generic usage (how many people have played game X during Xmas etc.) isn't such personal information.

As long as the customer knows what personal data is delivered and to whom, it should be ok from GDPR point of view, Then the customer can make an educated decision whether to sign up to the service or not.Then there are some other obligations to Epic as well, like if a customer asks what personal data Epic has about the customer etc.
