The numbers represent confirmed cases, so there could be more. There used to be a GOG thread dedicated to testing games for DRM on Epic, but then it was locked and its main contributors have switched to adding the information to the wiki.

Why would I trust a random cropped screenshot from a bad faith subreddit about hating everything related to Epic? Either of us can run Process Monitor, filter by the desired process, and see if their claims have merit. They don't.

The article and post I linked already explain the Steam and process list parts. How in your opinion does any program that needs to check if a process is running do that? Where would you expect Epic to get your Steam friends list if you're asking it to import your Steam friends?

I've heard stories of Microsoft support team members suggesting cracks when they couldn't activate the system the legal way.

Citing "fuckepic" 🤦. The spyware claims from amateurs not even understanding the basics of Process Monitor have been long debunked by people who aren't even sympathetic to Epic (1, 2).

At least in the first years, most of the games released on the Epic Games Store were DRM-free, in the strictest sense in that you could move the folder from PC to PC without needing the launcher, like on GOG. You can see the data as of today here.

It's not about engagement. As the court documents have shown, they want to increase the number of users and then see how many of those convert to paying customers.

This. The court documents from the trials vs Google and Apple even showed that they divide how much they pay the publisher for the giveaway by the number of users acquired to determine the cost per user.

Putin keeps talking about the West's purportedly degrading spiritual values and contrasts them with the "traditional values" of Russia, using that to outlaw LGBT people and being childfree, but this demonstrates the true value of his faith.

I wasn't a fan of that LAM album right after it came out, but the tracks sound truer than ever now.

Happy birthday, .zip!

It's a major red flag when they are described as leftist. Being for the working class, minorities, and against hierarchies does not align with supporting totalitarian regimes. Those people may pretend otherwise, but that would be like voting for Trump while claiming to be for trans rights. Pure lip service.
