The difference is you consented to the steam sign in by, wait for it, buying it on steam. The epic games account is being forced on people who bought it on steam without warning, consent, or even being necessary, as EDF 5's online worked just fine without it. Why should some third party company have any sort of control over the games I bought on steam? It would be just as stupid if the epic games store version forced a steam login.
People would be complaining even if they knew about it before hand like all the other games that required it.
I haven't heard people kick up a fuss about all the bad software Lethn mentioned that's secretly stuck in games, without a mention on store pages either.
True but the backlash is worse because it wasnt made known beforehand. That they waited until 6 hours after release gives the impression they were trying to sneak it in because they knew people would be upset if they knew ahead of time. If more people were aware of the shit being snuck into games these days i'm sure there would be an equal shitstorm abut that too.
Does it require a steam sign in? then demand that gets removed too.
