So, in case you've been worried about the possibility of Sweeney selling info on the dummy emails people create to play Fortnite over to the Chinese mega-corp, you may now stand at ease. The first obvious suspects are Epic's servers and databases, which are hosted on Amazon Web Services, so some legal precautions had to be taken, Sweeney noted. Moreover, much of the company's EULA terminology regarding consumer data is apparently there for protection in scenarios where they're forced to use third-party services. In short, " do not have any sort of access to customer data." The man who steered Epic since they were Potomac also reminded that Epic Games are not a subsidiary of Tencent and as such, aren't privy to that sort of sensitive information. Other than the cash, the deal provided Epic with a seasoned veteran in the games as a service model, which indirectly paved the way to Fortnite. I’m the founder and controlling shareholder of Epic and would never allow this to happen." Just to jog your memory, Tencent bought 40 per cent ownership in Epic Games back in 2013, after shelling out 330 million. We don’t share it, sell it, or broker access to it for advertising like so many other companies do. Sweeney however, wouldn't let the accusation go unanswered and wrote, "Epic does not share user data with Tencent or any other company. The post states that Ubisoft has got to stop insisting on 'always online' games, which is something we've been rooting for ever since they came up with SecuROM, while dismissing the Epic Games Store as "literal Spyware and worse". Epic's CEO Tim Sweeney stated his case in a Reddit thread posted by a user called Amnail.
