      It scanned Steam's local friend cache to help you add your friends to the EGS client, instead of asking the user to link their Steam account and perform the process explicitly through the API Valve provides for that exact purpose. Seeing as the client was, and still is, quite barebones I'd chalk it up to developers using a hacky shortcut than actual malicious intent from Epic. On the other hand, it takes literally five minutes to use Valve's API after you've read the documentation so idk. Not sure if it's been changed since.

      This was, of course, blown out of proportion by capital g gamers.

      That was probably just Valve propaganda.
