Update: Clickbait from Eurogamer, it's just an application

​

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment has clarified players do not need to link their Steam account to Epic Games in order to play the game.

When launching the game on Steam, an Epic Online Services client is installed once the game's EULA (End User Licence Agreement) is accepted. This is to support optional crossplay between players on both platforms and to synchronise friend lists between them, Focus confirmed in a forum post.

"However, please be aware linking your Steam and Epic accounts is not required to enjoy the game," the company wrote. "These features are entirely optional and will not affect your gameplay experience in any way."

Do you actually have to download the epic store or just some epic online utility thing?

Epic Onlien Service app.

So, basically the same as Earth Defense Force 6?

isn't it also the same as with games like Elden Ring which use Easy Anti-cheat?

If it doesn't break steamOS support I'm not too mad at that. I still wish Epic steps on every rake and banana peel in the world.

It's a background service to support crossplatform multiplayer. It's not a launcher or an even an account you have to make to play the game. Some PC gamers will cry about anything.

hahah who cares, why people make such a big deal

That's not the Epic Games Store.

Misleading title.

Those filthy PC gamers are being forced to play with filthy PC gamers . . . ha!

I'm newly part of the PCMR though, so I'm not that filthy yet.

 

[Gojiira]

Who fucking cares…Just download it and enjoy one of the best games of the year..Is it really THAT much of a issue?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Do you have to make an account? Or does it create a dummy one like some other games do? If it's the later I don't see an issue as long as they state all this on the store page (which I guess they don't)

Store page mentions it. It's not the EGS, it's just the online services. Clickbait outrage thread.

Yah, this is a fucking nonthingburger. Every online service needs to collect and transmit data of some kind to function.

People are being retarded again.
