Ok now it is getting straight up illegal. This is clearly a GDPR Breach.
So after installing the Launcher. Epic Games Launcher on start up searches for Steam install
and proceeds to get list of files in your Steam Cloud (this includes mostly game saves for every user that has logged in on your PC)
Steam Cloud is stored under userdata\[account id]\ if you wanna check
It will also create encrypted copy of config\localconfig.vdf.
This file contains your steam friends, their name history (groups you're part of, are considered "friends").
