When we started 2013's Tomb Raider, we got a prompt that requested our permission to "use BananaMania" with our Epic Games account. In development, there was a kind of multiplayer for 2 players, but that was just to make it easier for game devs to see what was going on. Some players confirm being unable to play the game without taking the extra step or getting stuck at the Profile screen, while others state that they could log in and play the game as they always could.
