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.

Why should steam have any control over games you bought on steam? If I buy a physical game off amazon I don't have to sign in to my amazon account to use it. Same goes for GoG.
Steam got started by pulling the exact same shit as this with HL2. So, while I agree that requiring two accounts is even dumber than requiring one, complaining about this while buying the game on steam is moronic.
Does it require a steam sign in? then demand that gets removed too.
