I'm mightily tempted, finally, by this month's Prime subscription's giveaway of the game KeyWe, which requires Epic Games account-linking.

I'm not really sure of what data risk to expect should I finally expose my real Amazon account to Epic Games (which is pretty much a dummy account that I've only been using to collect their giveaways ever since they began). I have refused to link accounts all these months so far. What do you think?

What do you think?

There's any downside to just pirate the game instead of getting it for "free" and risking your data to a big corp?

Malware risk and just wanting to abide by the law?

They don't abide by the law either, just look at the fines they are paying, just in privacy cases. Protonmail used to make digestable articles about it, like this new year

That doesn't justify me breaking it, though. It's a separate matter.

In my book there's no such thing as rules for only me. If they have obsoleted the law and they are getting away with it, I don't need to show any kind of respect to them.
