    Won’t even take their free ‘gifts’, worse than Origin when it comes to spyware and data collecting. I can’t understand anyone who willingly puts EGS on their device but complains about advertisers on other platforms collecting info about them.

      Yeah let’s not forget this is the client that went through your Steam-installed files on your drive to see what it could offer you.

      Because ads are something I dont want to see in general. EGS is something I knowingly use and want on my pc to play games. The choice is what makes it different.

      Probably people who understand how to make their computer do what they want it to? You control who your software talks to.

      Well, at least at the application level.
