  • Maybe I’m wrong but I remember the old days of jailbreaking an iPhone (4s my last iPhone) and I know some tweaks are now in implemented on iOS their own way soo you’re correct (does this count??)

    And no, not every big company flat out steals ideas

    Apple and google? They kinda copy each other right?

    Regarding OP’s question: Are these tags good if I care about privacy? I’ve always wanted to buy one for my keys and one for my wallet but I didn’t know what to buy. I have a Samsung phone and wanted to buy their tags but never did

    No because a lot of people hate the exclusives and they don’t buy those games, devs will realize it (one day). Look at how Ubi went back to steam, Square too🤷‍♂️

    Honestly, a eos+steamworks would be better 🤷‍♂️ but even a simple “cross platform” (epic/steam) would work.

    Is epic anti-monopolistic? Are you sure?

    But if it’s deleting it stops any call then it’s like not having it in the first place

    Nah, don’t care. Devs are learning where is better to release games (aka not exclusively) soo🤷‍♂️ it’s a matter of time and we’ll either see it die or adapt and make something worth using and not trying to be a monopoly

    Not if you delete the dll file, unless it’s both inthe dll and the exe…?

    I think it requires a restart but it’s off by default, it asks when you first run it (first install? Each install?) And you can disable it but after deleting the .dll file, the game runs perfectly fine

    I guess? But some people aren’t really happy with these changes, especially old games where it gets added or the fact is required in a single-player only game

    So it’s not like they can just include a check box to disable the functionality;

    Risk of rain? Is the first that comes in mind. You can also delete it and works great. I try to avoid as much as possible and if I can’t because bought before knowing or added later, I delete the file, if it doesn’t work I’m refunding it. It’s dumb? Yeah. I’ll keep doing it? Yes

    I mean, it’s there so the game can utilize Epic’s online services, like achievements

    I don’t get this. If bought on steam it should NOT use it by default and using it SHOULD be optional, off by default and toggleable in settings.

    As I said above: If the game can run without the file, I think about buying it

    Yes, I know but the problem is that it gets installed with the game even if you don’t want it, it’s used even with single player games and deleting it, the game refuses to launch. Why single player games need it? No, the “for Telemetry purposes” is not a valid answer. I don’t want it on my system, period. We can argue whether it’s the dev or not since I’m sure (assumption since I’m not a dev nor I know one) it’s not the dev that decides to add it. Damn, I wish I could remember which game didn’t work with eos dll removed (happened months ago). Ooh Apex Legends (good or not, don’t care about it) added eos mandatory, if you block your pc to phoning home (hosts file) to epic, it refuses to launch. WHY?!

    If Satisfactory can run in single player (don’t care about multi nor I have friends lol) without the eos dll and updates don’t add it back, maybe I’ll think about it but I can’t test it since I don’t own the game.
