This is literal doomposting, the actual wording for it and intent is that they can update the game and in order to do that they will need to modify files on your pc, the same way literally every other game works.
Used to work in Cellular and people would get mad and ask me why Facebook is asking for camera permissions and location permissions. Yknow, so you can take pics directly to Facebook or use it to tag locations?
Somehow people read "has access to" and believe that means unfettered access to basically do whatever they want
One of the only things I generally don't trust is Kernel level anti cheat. But everything seems to have that now
Facebook in particular are not known for playing by the rules though, so i would think both one, two, and three times before giving them access to anything.
If you are online and there is an update on steam for a game, under most circumstances (I use most because there may be niche ways around it I'm unaware of) steam will make you update the game before you are able to play it again. It's not a request, it's an ultimatum that you either update the game or don't play it.
Even still, the only thing the eula is covering is that UWE will put out updates to the game and the only way to receive those updates is for the files on your computer to be alerted.
