I don't really even trust their free games, after finding out they're Chinese based. It made a lot of their previous malpractices make so much more sense to me.

Atleast with free steam games, the reviews typically tell you if the game is a red flag or not

Honestly pretty racist and nonsensical. Do you really think publishers are going to allow Epic to tamper with their games, and that those same publishers wouldn’t pull whatever scummy or dangerous tactic you’re thinking of on their Steam version?

You think it's racist, yet even former Chinese citizens living in the US to escape the CCPs claws, wouldn't trust most Chinese based companies. Because those companies are forcefully incentivized by the CCP to install backdoors for them to use for gathering data and likely much worse. Remember the CCP secret police in Manhattan? Former Chinese citizens sure do. Plus, It's literally been the CCPs business model since 2015, for the online world.

And some rando publishers of free games do. The key difference between epic and steam on that note though, is steam allows individual reviews of games, where epic still does not (kinda like how they were so heavily against offline play until their whole business started dying over it)... And with the freedom of being able to see reviews straight from the game's page, there are chad gamers that catch those malicious developers and put them on blast and save people the trouble of falling for their tricks.

Why not instead of spouting your own nonsense, actually go look into epic games malpractices over the past 6 years? Hmm?
