You don't have to log in to Epic unless you want to play with Epic users.

I mean if you don't log in, at least the dedicated server only makes two calls to EOS. The SDK is in the game, sure, but if you're not logging in to Epic then I don't really see the threat. It seems like classic sinophobia to be totally blasé about any data Steam (or Coffee Stain) want to collect, but to avoid the entire product because Tencent might be able to associate your IP with the fact that you own the game.
