Epic Games hasn't done it much lately, but when they first launched they paid a few big games to be Epic Games Store exclusives which is obviously anti-consumer behaviour. That and they're owned by China, so the chances of your data being funneled out to China is practically 100%. Also, Epic has historically been critical of gaming on Linux with the CEO going so far as to say that Linux users are a bunch of whiners and that Epic will never support Linux just to spite them. A very immature response to say the least.

Tencent owns a 40% share of epic. While that is really considerable, it does not mean they are "owned by China". Tim Sweeney is the majority shareholder.

How much of Steam is owned by China?

How is that relevant?
