I remember when Rocket League first came out. Being so excited to play and improve every day. Seeing a dev team that loved their game as much as I loved playing it was such a breathe of fresh air in the gaming industry dominated by triple A titles. I remember buying every car DLC or keys for crates simply because I wanted to support the developers and contribute to their success however I could. It’s so sad to see the game in its current state. Bots ruining the experience. $2 skins being sold for $20. No roadmaps. No new content. No urgency to communicate with the player base. Dev team being Thanos snapped off of the project they’ve built and grown for over a decade. Owners who couldn’t care less if the game dies or not.. And somehow the game still has one of the most dedicated communities and some of the most loyal players and content creators. It’s just goes to show how great this game is. It deserves so much better than what we are seeing and it’s so difficult to watch people who are unaffected by the outcome do everything they can to kill the game. @TimSweeneyEpic is a multi billionaire. Epic Games does billions of dollars in revenue every year. I can’t fault a business for chasing profits but I can fault leaders for chasing greed. And in my eyes no one becomes a billionaire without exploitation to some degree. No individual generates billions of dollars in value so no individual should be worth billions of dollars, especially when it comes at the cost of passionate people who care about what they do losing their livelihoods. Epic games continues removing value from Rocket League while increasing the cost of everything sold in it. Sell the game you don’t care about. Rocket League is not a Fortnite accessory. It’s not a cameo for your golden goose game. Sell it to a company that sees what the community sees in this game. Allow people who care about something other than increasing Fortnite’s profits year over year to take this game places everyone knows it can go. It’s so exhausting just watching Rocket League slowly bleed out and the only people who seem to care are the ones who have no say in what happens. Sorry, rant over.
